== Angle's Classification of Malocclusion ==
In 1899, [[Edward Angle]] classified the relationship of the teeth into three main groups:
* '''Class I:''' The "ideal" bite where the mesiobuccal cusp of the upper first molar aligns with the buccal groove of the lower first molar.
* '''Class II:''' Often characterized by a receding lower jaw or protruding upper teeth (overjet).
* '''Class III:''' Characterized by a prominent lower jaw or a "crossbite" where lower teeth are in front of upper teeth.
