Abstract

The skeletal position of the jaws is genetically determined. Typical positional relationships of the jaws include classifiable occlusal forms and externally recognizable, almost typifying esthetic features of each face. Classification was essential for the development of systematic treatment concepts in order to enable structured treatments in the first place, which must also be communicated internationally (Becking et al., Ned Tijdschr Tandheelkd 2007; 114(1):34–40).
