[Teleroentgenographic findings in adults with overbite. Teleroentgenographic morphology in closed-bite patients]

Abstract

Lateral skull radiographs were analyzed in twenty patients with retroclined incisors. Greatest deviations from the comparison values were found in the region of the lower face. The mandible shows a retrognathic and counter clockwise rotated position. The height of the anterior lower face height and the dentoalveolar height are reduced. The interincisor angle ist distinct increased. Etiological aspects and the therapeutical consequences of the findings are mentioned.
