Classification of Malocclusion
Classification of malocclusion
• Classification is the morphological discription
of The dental, skeletal and soft tissue
deviation From normal occlusion.
Purpose of Classification
• To be able to distinguish between normal
occlusion and malocclusions
• To be able to classify malocclusions between
and within the jaws, as well as categorise
different malpositions of teeth
• To understand different malocclusions and
their frequencies
• To understand what orthodontic treatment
need means and what type of malocclusions
should or should not be treated
• Facilitate communication
1. Primary Classification:
a) Cephalic anomalies
• b) Dysgnathic anomalies
• c) Eugnathic anomalies
a) Cephalic anomalies
• Deformities of the osseous components
of the head which affect dental occlusion and
dentofacial development. It includes the following:
• 1) Microcephalus, usually accompanied by a
receding chin.
• 2) Macrocephalus, usually accompanied by
spacing of teeth, mandibular prognathism.
• 3) Osteogenic, hyperostosis of the maxilla
accompanied by ;
-over growth in width and depth of the mandible
- retardation of the dentition.
b) Dysgnathic anomalies
• gross developmental abnormalities of the
teeth, dental arches, alveolar processes, jaws
and other oral structures. It includes the
following:
1) Macroglossia, abnormal frenum labia.
2) Facial clefts cleft palate and cleft lip.
3) Total or partial agnathia, or micrognathia.
4) Tumors of the jaws and diseases of the
periodontium.
5) Severe changes in the form, structure and
relationship of the jaws and teeth which may or
may not be associated with systemic diseases.
c) Eugnathic anomalies:
• A term suggested by Lischer used to denote
anomalies of the teeth alone which influence
occlusion with malformation of alveolar
processes but without deformity of the jaws and
facial features. It includes the following:
• Disturbancein degree of tooth development,
impaction, retardation or incompletionof
eruption.
• Position of tooth or teeth in relation to the line
of occlusion, or to any of the three planes of
space e.g. Linguoversion, labioversion,
2. Classification by body type
(BERGER)
a. Asthenic or leptosomatic, long and slender:
• A tall, thin person with narrow shoulders,
• slim arms and hands, the face is high and narrow,
• the mandible is underdeveloped
• the bridge of the nose overdeveloped in length.
b. Pyknic, short and squat:
• short in stature with a short neck and compact trunk.
• The face is broad and less high than the leptosomatic type.
c. Athletic, muscular type:
• strong developed muscles, broad shoulders, a fully developed chest.
The skeleton is well developed. The mandible is square and fully
developed.
• The types do not always occur in their pure state
• It is types of mixed features that facial disharmony
3. Classification according to the
etiology (BENNETT):
• The malocclusionis classifiedaccording to their
etiologic factors:
• a. Class I: Abnormal position of one or more teeth due
to local etiologicalfactors.
• b. Class II: Abnormal developmentof the upper and/or
lower arch due to developmentaldefects of the bone.
• c. Class III: Malrelationshipof the upper and lower
arches to each other, and betweenthe upper and/or
lower arch to the face due to developmentaldefects of
the bone.
4. Classification according to dental
arch relationship
• Angle’s Classification of Dental Malocclusion
• Simon's Classification
Angle’s Classification of Dental
Malocclusion
the key to occlusion
• Angle considered the upper permanent first molars as a
fixed point in the skull,
• Angle believed that the 1st permanent molars were the
key to occlusion:
1 . largest teeth.
2. firmest in their attachment.
3. Have a key location in the arches.
4. Help determine the dental and skeletal vertical proportions
5. Occupy normal position in the arches
6 control the positions of other permanent teeth
7. Have the most consistent timing of
8. Determine the inter-arch relationship of all other teeth
upon their eruption and "locking" with the mandibular first
molars.
• Angle based his classification of malocclusion
on the normal mesiodistal relations of the
permanent canines and of the mesiobuccul
cusps of the upper 1st molars in relation to
the mandibular canines and 1st molars
Characteristics of normal dental
occlusion
• 1. Common occlusal plane for both arches.
• 2. Correct axial inclination of the teeth.
• 3. Normal relationship of the dental arches to
each other and to the face and cranium.
• 4. Normal overjet and overbite
Class I Malocclusion:
• The mandibular dental arch and the body of
the mandible are in normal mesiodistal
relation to the maxillary arch.
• The mesiobuccul cusp of the maxillary
permanent 1st molars occlude in the buccal
groove of the mandibular 1st molars,
• the mesiolingual cusp of the maxillary 1st
permanent molars occludes with the occlusal
fossae of the mandibular permanent 1st
molars,
• when the jaws are at rest and the teeth are
approximated in centric occlusion.
Angle Class I
Malocclusion in Class I is localized
anterior to the first molar
• 1) Local abnormalities:
• * Crowding of incisorteeth.
• * Labial inclinationof upper incisorteeth.
• * Anteriorcross bite.
• * Posteriorcross bite.
• * Impaction of premolars or canines.
• * Deep overbite.
• * Open bite (anterioror posterior).
• 2) Disproportionin size betweenthe teeth and basal
bone (spacing or crowding of teeth).
Class II Malocclusion
• The mandibular dental arch and the body of the
mandible are in distalrelation to the maxillary arch.
The mesiobucculcusp of the maxillary permanent1st
molars occluded in the space betweenthe mesiobuccul
cusp of the mandibular permanent 1st molar and the
distal aspect of the buccal cusp of the 2nd premolars.
The mesiolingualcusps of the maxillary 1st molars
occlude mesial to the mesiolingualcusp of the
mandibular 1st molars.
divisions for Class II
• There are two :
• Division 1 and Division 2.
• subdivision: the 1st molars relationship is
Class I (normal) in one side, and Class II on the
other side
Angle’s Class II Division 1 dental
malocclusion
• 1) The upper incisor teeth are proclined.
• 2) Excessive overjet and deep overbite.
• 3) V-shaped upper arch; Narrow in the canine
region and broad between the molars.
• 4) Short upper lip with failure in the anterior
lip seal.
• 5) The mandible may be deficient and under
developed chin.
Angle’s Class II Division 1 dental
malocclusion
• Full unit: mesiodistal width of a premolar or
half the width of a permanent 1st molar
• Half unit: half the width of a premolar .
• Full unit Class II = width of a premolar.
• Half unit Class II = half width of a premolar.
Angle Class II malocclusion
Angle Class II malocclusion (full cusp)
Angle Class II malocclusion (half cusp)
Angle’s Class II Division 2
• 1) The upper central incisor teeth showed
lingual inclination and may be overlapped by
the upper lateral incisor teeth.
• 2) Deep overbite.
• 3) Normal upper lip and lip seal with deep
mental groove.
• 4) The mandible is of good size.
Angle’s Class II Division 1 dental
malocclusion
Class II division 2
Class II subdivision:
• The first molar relationship is Class I in one
side and Class II in the other side.
Class III Malocclusion
• The mandibular dental arch and the body of the
mandible are in bilateral mesial relationship to the
maxillary arch.
• The mesiobucculcusp of the maxillary permanent1st
molar occludes in the interdental space betweenthe
distal aspect of the distal cusps of the mandibular
permanent 1st molars and the mesial aspect of the
mesial cusps of the mandibular 2nd permanent molars.
• Typically the teeth are in centric occlusion, and the
mandibular condyles are within the glenoid fossae.
Class III Malocclusion
Class III Subdivision
The molar relationship: Class III on one side and
Class I on the other side, i.e. malocclusion is
unilateral.
Angle Class III malocclusion
Angle class IV:
• The first molar relationship is Class II in one
side and Class III in the other side.
• It does not have divisions or subdivisions.
• It was not originally included in the
classification. However,
• it was added later.
Reliability and validity of Angle’s
classification:
• Angle’s classification was the first
comprehensive classification of malocclusion.
• It is still the most widely accepted
classification and is used routinely up till now
Reliability:
• is the extent to which an experiment or test
yields the same results on repeated trials.
• Angle’s classification has proven to be highly
reliable because the same results are
obtained on repeated clinical examination.
Validity of Angle's Classification
• With the introduction of Cephalometric radiographs into
clinical orthodontics in the last century by Broadbent,
some points were raised against Angle’s classification;
such as:
• 1. The 1st permanent molar is not a fixed point in the
skull.
• 2. It is now known that, it is possible to have Class I
dental arches on skeletal Class 2.
• 3. In Class II, the classification does not differentiate
between true mandibular retrusion and maxillary
protrusion and also in Class III either true maxillary
retrusion or mandibular protrusion.
• 4. It is incomplete, as it shows anomalies in
anteroposterior direction only and neglecting any
anomalies in the vertical or transverse direction.
• Angle’s classificationis not valid
Modification of Angle's Classification
• A. Lischer's modification
• B. Dewey's modifications
Modification of Angle's Classification
A. Lischer's modification:
• Lischer introduced the following to explain
Angle's classification:
• 1. Neutrocclusion or Class I.
• 2. Distocclusion or Class II.
• 3. Mesiocclusion or Class III.
Lischer's terminology
• 1. Bucco-occlusion, when the dental arch,
quadrant, or group of teeth is buccal to normal.
• 2. Linguo-occlusion, when the dental arch,
quadrant, or group of teeth is lingual to normal.
• 3. Supra-occlusion, abnormally deep overbite of
group of teeth, or one dental arch occludes over
the opposing arch so that the teeth in the
respective jaws overlap abnormally.
• 4. Infra-occlusion, dental arches, quadrants, or
group of teeth are in open bite relationship.
B. Dewey's modifications:
• Dewey in 1915 modified Angle’s Class I and
Class III by segregating malpositions of
anterior and posterior segments as:
MODIFICATIONS OF ANGLES CLASS I
• Type 1
Angles Class I with
crowded maxillary anterior teeth
Type 2
Angles Class I with maxillary incisors in labio-
version (proclined)
Type 3
• Angle’s Class I with maxillary incisor teeth in
linguoversion to mandibular incisor teeth
(anteriors in cross bite)
• This type can be mistaken for Class III Angle.
•
Type 4
Molars and/or premolars are in
bucco or linguoversion,
but incisors and canines are in normal
alignment (posteriors in cross bite)
Type 5
• Molars are in mesio-version due to early loss
of teeth mesial to them (early loss of
deciduous molars or second premolar)
Dewey divided Angle’s Class III into 3
types:
• Type 1: Teeth are in normal alignment (edge
to edge bite).
• Type 2: Lower incisors are crowded (normal
overjet).
• Type 3: Maxillary incisors are crowded
(anterior crossbite).
Dewey's modifications to Angle's
Class III malocclusion
• Type1:
• The dental arches are well formed and the teeth are in
normal alignment in the respective arches when viewed
individually.
• There is an edge-to-edge bite when the attempt is made
to approximate the dental arches,
• There is an appearance suggesting that the mandibular
dental arch has been moved forward bodily.
Type 2
• The mandibular incisors are crowded
• and in lingual relation to the maxillary
incisors.
Type 3
• The maxillary arch is underdeveloped.
• The maxillary incisors are crowded
• The mandibular arch is well developed
• Mandibular teeth are in normal
alignment.
Simon's Classification
The Three Planes of Occlusion
• It relates the denture to the face and cranium
in the three planes of space: 1. the Frankfort
horizontal, 2. the orbital, 3. the raphe or
median sagittal plane.
1. The Frankfort horizontal plane
• eye-ear plane:
• is determined by
drawing a straight line
through the margin of
the bony orbit directly
under the pupil of the
eye, to the upper
margins of the auditory
meat us.
Deviation from the Frankfort horizontal
plane:
• a. Attractions: The distance between the
occlusal plane and the Frankfort horizontal is
comparatively shorter than normal.
• b. Abstractions: The distance between the
occlusal plane and the Frankfort plane is
comparatively longer than normal.
2. The orbital plane
• is perpendicular to the
Frankfort plane, at the
margin of the bony
orbit directly under
the pupil of the eye.
• determine sagittal
deviations in the ant-
post. relation of the
dental arches
• the axial inclination of
the teeth to the face
and cranium.
Deviation from the orbital plane:
• Protractions: The teeth, one or both dental
arches and/or jaws are too far forward.
• (Normally the orbital plane passes through the
distal incline of the canine)
• Retractions: The teeth, one or both dental
arches and/or jaws are too far retruded. The
orbital plane passes too far anteriorly to the
canines.
Deviation of the dental arches in relation to the
orbital plane according to Simon may occur as
follows:
1. Both jaws in normal relation to each other
2. Upper jaw normal, lower jaw mesial
3. Upper jaw normal, lower jaw distal
4. Lower jaw normal, upper jaw mesial
5. Lower jaw normal, upper jaw distal
6. Upper jaw mesial, lower jaw distal
7. Upper jaw distal, lower jaw mesial
The law of the canine
• In normal arch relationship, according to
Simon:
• the orbital plane passes through the distal
axial aspect of the canine. This is known as
"the law of the canine".
3. The raphe or median sagittal plane
• is determined by
points approximately
1.5cm apart on the
median raphe of the
palate.
• passes through these
two points at right
angle to the Frankfort
horizontal plane.
• This plane is used to determine deviation in;
- form and width of the dental arches
-axial inclination of the teeth in
relation to the midline of the palate
and the head.
1. Deviation from the raphe or median
sagittal plane:
• a. Contractions: A part or the entire dental
arch is contracted toward the raphe median
plane.
• The abnormality may be alveolar, dental,
anterior, posterior, unilateral or bilateral.
• b. Distractions: A part or the entire dental
arch is wider than usual (cross bite) from the
raphe median plane.
Skeletal Classification of malocclusion
• Salzmann is 1950 was the first to classify on olcclusion based on the underlying
skeletal structures.
• SKELETAL CLASS I
• These malocclusions were purely dental with the bones of the face and jaws being
in harmony with one another and with the rest of the head. The profile is
orthognathic
• SKELETAL CLASS II
• These included malocclusion with a subnormal distal mandibular development in
relation to the maxilla
• SKELETAL CLASS III
• Here there is an over growth of the mandible with an obtuse mandibular plane
angle. The profile is prognathic at the mandible
Incisor Classification
• British standard Classification of incisor
relationship
• based on incisor relationship proposed in
1983
Incisor Classification
• The incisor classification is considered simpler and more relevant than Angle’s
classification.
• It was adopted by the British Standards’Institute in 1983, and is based upon the
relationship of the lower incisor edges and the cingulum plateau of the maxillary central
incisors.

  • 19. divisions for Class II • There are two : • Division 1 and Division 2. • subdivision: the 1st molars relationship is Class I (normal) in one side, and Class II on the other side
  • 20. Angle’s Class II Division 1 dental malocclusion • 1) The upper incisor teeth are proclined. • 2) Excessive overjet and deep overbite. • 3) V-shaped upper arch; Narrow in the canine region and broad between the molars. • 4) Short upper lip with failure in the anterior lip seal. • 5) The mandible may be deficient and under developed chin.
  • 21. Angle’s Class II Division 1 dental malocclusion
  • 22. • Full unit: mesiodistal width of a premolar or half the width of a permanent 1st molar • Half unit: half the width of a premolar . • Full unit Class II = width of a premolar. • Half unit Class II = half width of a premolar.
  • 23. Angle Class II malocclusion Angle Class II malocclusion (full cusp)
  • 24. Angle Class II malocclusion (half cusp)
  • 25. Angle’s Class II Division 2 • 1) The upper central incisor teeth showed lingual inclination and may be overlapped by the upper lateral incisor teeth. • 2) Deep overbite. • 3) Normal upper lip and lip seal with deep mental groove. • 4) The mandible is of good size.
  • 26. Angle’s Class II Division 1 dental malocclusion
  • 28. Class II subdivision: • The first molar relationship is Class I in one side and Class II in the other side.
  • 29. Class III Malocclusion • The mandibular dental arch and the body of the mandible are in bilateral mesial relationship to the maxillary arch. • The mesiobucculcusp of the maxillary permanent1st molar occludes in the interdental space betweenthe distal aspect of the distal cusps of the mandibular permanent 1st molars and the mesial aspect of the mesial cusps of the mandibular 2nd permanent molars. • Typically the teeth are in centric occlusion, and the mandibular condyles are within the glenoid fossae.
  • 31. Class III Subdivision The molar relationship: Class III on one side and Class I on the other side, i.e. malocclusion is unilateral.
  • 32. Angle Class III malocclusion
  • 33. Angle class IV: • The first molar relationship is Class II in one side and Class III in the other side. • It does not have divisions or subdivisions. • It was not originally included in the classification. However, • it was added later.
  • 34. Reliability and validity of Angle’s classification: • Angle’s classification was the first comprehensive classification of malocclusion. • It is still the most widely accepted classification and is used routinely up till now
  • 35. Reliability: • is the extent to which an experiment or test yields the same results on repeated trials. • Angle’s classification has proven to be highly reliable because the same results are obtained on repeated clinical examination.
  • 36. Validity of Angle's Classification • With the introduction of Cephalometric radiographs into clinical orthodontics in the last century by Broadbent, some points were raised against Angle’s classification; such as: • 1. The 1st permanent molar is not a fixed point in the skull. • 2. It is now known that, it is possible to have Class I dental arches on skeletal Class 2. • 3. In Class II, the classification does not differentiate between true mandibular retrusion and maxillary protrusion and also in Class III either true maxillary retrusion or mandibular protrusion. • 4. It is incomplete, as it shows anomalies in anteroposterior direction only and neglecting any anomalies in the vertical or transverse direction. • Angle’s classificationis not valid
  • 37. Modification of Angle's Classification • A. Lischer's modification • B. Dewey's modifications
  • 38. Modification of Angle's Classification A. Lischer's modification: • Lischer introduced the following to explain Angle's classification: • 1. Neutrocclusion or Class I. • 2. Distocclusion or Class II. • 3. Mesiocclusion or Class III.
  • 39. Lischer's terminology • 1. Bucco-occlusion, when the dental arch, quadrant, or group of teeth is buccal to normal. • 2. Linguo-occlusion, when the dental arch, quadrant, or group of teeth is lingual to normal. • 3. Supra-occlusion, abnormally deep overbite of group of teeth, or one dental arch occludes over the opposing arch so that the teeth in the respective jaws overlap abnormally. • 4. Infra-occlusion, dental arches, quadrants, or group of teeth are in open bite relationship.
  • 40. B. Dewey's modifications: • Dewey in 1915 modified Angle’s Class I and Class III by segregating malpositions of anterior and posterior segments as:
  • 41. MODIFICATIONS OF ANGLES CLASS I • Type 1 Angles Class I with crowded maxillary anterior teeth
  • 42. Type 2 Angles Class I with maxillary incisors in labio- version (proclined)
  • 43. Type 3 • Angle’s Class I with maxillary incisor teeth in linguoversion to mandibular incisor teeth (anteriors in cross bite) • This type can be mistaken for Class III Angle. •
  • 44. Type 4 Molars and/or premolars are in bucco or linguoversion, but incisors and canines are in normal alignment (posteriors in cross bite)
  • 45. Type 5 • Molars are in mesio-version due to early loss of teeth mesial to them (early loss of deciduous molars or second premolar)
  • 46. Dewey divided Angle’s Class III into 3 types: • Type 1: Teeth are in normal alignment (edge to edge bite). • Type 2: Lower incisors are crowded (normal overjet). • Type 3: Maxillary incisors are crowded (anterior crossbite).
  • 47. Dewey's modifications to Angle's Class III malocclusion • Type1: • The dental arches are well formed and the teeth are in normal alignment in the respective arches when viewed individually. • There is an edge-to-edge bite when the attempt is made to approximate the dental arches, • There is an appearance suggesting that the mandibular dental arch has been moved forward bodily.
  • 48. Type 2 • The mandibular incisors are crowded • and in lingual relation to the maxillary incisors.
  • 49. Type 3 • The maxillary arch is underdeveloped. • The maxillary incisors are crowded • The mandibular arch is well developed • Mandibular teeth are in normal alignment.
  • 50. Simon's Classification The Three Planes of Occlusion • It relates the denture to the face and cranium in the three planes of space: 1. the Frankfort horizontal, 2. the orbital, 3. the raphe or median sagittal plane.
  • 51. 1. The Frankfort horizontal plane • eye-ear plane: • is determined by drawing a straight line through the margin of the bony orbit directly under the pupil of the eye, to the upper margins of the auditory meat us.
  • 52. Deviation from the Frankfort horizontal plane: • a. Attractions: The distance between the occlusal plane and the Frankfort horizontal is comparatively shorter than normal. • b. Abstractions: The distance between the occlusal plane and the Frankfort plane is comparatively longer than normal.
  • 53. 2. The orbital plane • is perpendicular to the Frankfort plane, at the margin of the bony orbit directly under the pupil of the eye. • determine sagittal deviations in the ant- post. relation of the dental arches • the axial inclination of the teeth to the face and cranium.
  • 54. Deviation from the orbital plane: • Protractions: The teeth, one or both dental arches and/or jaws are too far forward. • (Normally the orbital plane passes through the distal incline of the canine) • Retractions: The teeth, one or both dental arches and/or jaws are too far retruded. The orbital plane passes too far anteriorly to the canines.
  • 55. Deviation of the dental arches in relation to the orbital plane according to Simon may occur as follows: 1. Both jaws in normal relation to each other 2. Upper jaw normal, lower jaw mesial 3. Upper jaw normal, lower jaw distal 4. Lower jaw normal, upper jaw mesial 5. Lower jaw normal, upper jaw distal 6. Upper jaw mesial, lower jaw distal 7. Upper jaw distal, lower jaw mesial
  • 56. The law of the canine • In normal arch relationship, according to Simon: • the orbital plane passes through the distal axial aspect of the canine. This is known as "the law of the canine".
  • 57. 3. The raphe or median sagittal plane • is determined by points approximately 1.5cm apart on the median raphe of the palate. • passes through these two points at right angle to the Frankfort horizontal plane.
  • 58. • This plane is used to determine deviation in; - form and width of the dental arches -axial inclination of the teeth in relation to the midline of the palate and the head.
  • 59. 1. Deviation from the raphe or median sagittal plane: • a. Contractions: A part or the entire dental arch is contracted toward the raphe median plane. • The abnormality may be alveolar, dental, anterior, posterior, unilateral or bilateral. • b. Distractions: A part or the entire dental arch is wider than usual (cross bite) from the raphe median plane.
  • 60. Skeletal Classification of malocclusion • Salzmann is 1950 was the first to classify on olcclusion based on the underlying skeletal structures. • SKELETAL CLASS I • These malocclusions were purely dental with the bones of the face and jaws being in harmony with one another and with the rest of the head. The profile is orthognathic • SKELETAL CLASS II • These included malocclusion with a subnormal distal mandibular development in relation to the maxilla • SKELETAL CLASS III • Here there is an over growth of the mandible with an obtuse mandibular plane angle. The profile is prognathic at the mandible
  • 61. Incisor Classification • British standard Classification of incisor relationship • based on incisor relationship proposed in 1983
  • 62. Incisor Classification • The incisor classification is considered simpler and more relevant than Angle’s classification. • It was adopted by the British Standards’Institute in 1983, and is based upon the relationship of the lower incisor edges and the cingulum plateau of the maxillary central incisors.
