Which term is used for 'teeth that are straight and aligned'?

• A. Proper Occlusion
• B. Malocclusion
• C. Class II Malocclusion
• D. Open Bite

Answer: (A)

Teeth that are straight and aligned are described as proper occlusion. Proper occlusion reflects an ideal relationship where the upper teeth fit neatly over the lower teeth, with smooth contact and minimal crowding or spacing. Malocclusion means the bite is not ideal—misalignment or an improper bite. A Class II malocclusion is a specific type of malocclusion where the upper jaw and teeth project ahead of the lower jaw. An open bite is when the front teeth don’t touch in a bite, creating a vertical gap. So, the term for straight, aligned teeth is proper occlusion.
