General Dentistry – Overbite

Overbite is often confused with parrot-mouth. The difference is what is affected. Overbite affects the whole jaw causing the misalignment of all cheek teeth. This misalignment creates hooks on the 1st lower and last upper cheek teeth. A parrot-mouth only affects the incisor teeth.

The rostral occlusal surface has wear from the overbite. The occlusal surfaces are uneven in wear. 301 has receeding gums and is slightly deformed.
This is a ventral-dorsal view looking at the occlusal surface of the upper incisors. There is no over-eruption and in fact, the rostral edge of the occlusal surface looks more worn relative to the rest of the occlusal surface. Also this horse is missing 302 (remember this picture is from underneath the horse).
