A "Class II malocclusion" in a dog is also known by what common name?
- Wry bite
- Anterior crossbite
- Overshot bite (brachygnathism)
- Undershot bite (prognathism)
Explanation:
A Class II malocclusion occurs when the mandible (lower jaw) is shorter than the maxilla (upper jaw), resulting in an "overshot bite." This condition is also known as mandibular brachygnathism. A Class III malocclusion is an "undershot bite" (prognathism). A wry bite involves asymmetry in one or both jaws.
