1
Q

pertains to ‘straight teeth’

A

orthodontia

2
Q

term used to describe a “state of not closing well”

A

Malocclusion

3
Q

more than the normal amount of teeth in the mouth

A

hyperodontia

4
Q

anterior and posterior dental occlusion is normal, or mesial and distal occlusion is normal, but individual teeth are not aligned

A

Class I: Neutroclusion or neutral occlusion

5
Q

anterior and posterior teeth alignment is abnormal, causing the maxilla (upper jaw) to protrude more forward than the mandible (lower jaw)

A

Class II: Distoclusion

6
Q

anterior and posterior teeth are aligned abnormally, causing the lower jaw (mandible) to protrude further forward than the maxilla

A

Class III: Mesioclusion

7
Q

posterior (back) teeth occlude, but the anterior (front) teeth do not

A

Open bite

8
Q

upper dentition projects further forward than the mandibular dentition.

A

Horizontal overlap Commonly called ‘overjet’

9
Q

lower dentition projects further forward than the maxillary dentition

A

Underjet

10
Q

abnormal superior-inferior alignment and occlusion of a tooth with its opposing tooth. May involve one or more teeth.

A

Crossbite Also called reverse articulation

11
Q

edges of maxillary and mandidular incisors meet each other

A

End to End

12
Q

the goal is to maintain current dental and occlusion integrity and preventing the development of abnormalities.

A

Preventative orthodontics

13
Q

exercises are individualized to each patient, to ensure that the muscles are ‘trained’ to perform at their optimum

A

myotherapeutic (myo-therapeut-ic) exercises

14
Q

this method is aimed at limiting the extent of an existing concern related to abnormal growth patterns, to prevent further problems.

A

Interceptive orthodontics

15
Q

removable appliances that are designed to ensure aligned occlusion

A

biteplate or a bite guard

16
Q

intervening with the application of appliances that alter the positioning and movement of teeth. The most common example would be ‘braces’.

A

Corrective orthodontics

17
Q

braces and retainers align dentition after bones have been weakened through a surgical procedure. As bones heal, teeth retain their new alignment

A

Accelerated osteogenic orthodontics

18
Q

collaboration with other specialists to correct underlying conditions that are responsible for the malocclusion

A

Adjunctive orthodontics

19
Q

a) macrodontia
b) polydontia
c) superodontitis
d) hemiodontic

A

B

20
Q

a) posterior teeth do not occlude
b) molars do not occlude
c) incisors do not occlude
d) anterior teeth are absent

A

C

21
Q

Accelerated osteogenic orthodontics ____

a) requires surgery
b) is used to correct the periosteum
c) increases the amount of supernumerary teeth
d) causes reverse articulation

A

A

22
Q

Maxillary teeth protruding more forward than mandibular teeth is called ____

a) openjet
b) hyperjet
c) underjet
d) overjet

A

D

A

A

mesioclusion

27
