Angles Classification

  1. Class I
    • Normal occlusion, molar and canine relationship. 
    • Straight facial shape
    • Class 1 malocclusion: abnormal occlusion (crowding of anterior teeth or rotation)
  2. Class 2 Div 1
    • Retrognathic- Upper jaw appears more prominent. 
    • Molar relationship: maxillary anterior teeth are protrude, teeth are proclaimed and a large over jet is present.
    • **Lips dont seal properly.
    • Convex facial shape
  3. Class 2 Div 2
    • molar relationship- MB cusp of upper first molar sits mesially of the lower first molar- between 5 and 6. 
    • Maxillary central incisors are retroclined, the lateral incisors may be proclaimed or normally inclined. 
    • Retroclined and a deep bite usually exists.
    • Convex facial shape
  4. Class 3
    • Prognathic
    • Mandible appears more prominent.
    • Molar relationship: mesiobuccal cusp of maxillary first molar occludes distally to mesiobuccal groove of mandibular first molar.
    • Canine relationship: distal surface of the mandibular canine are medial to the mesial surface of the maxillary canines by at least the width of the premolar, mandibular incisors are in complete cross-bite.
    • Facial shape is Concave
