Questions and Answers

What is the primary influence on the soft tissue factor in a Class II div.1 malocclusion?

  • Lip and tongue activity
  • Skeletal pattern (correct)
  • Cheek pressure
  • Upper incisor prominence
  • In a Class II div.1 malocclusion, what is the effect of incompetent lips on the patient's attempts to achieve an anterior oral seal?

  • The patient will have a lip-to-lip seal
  • The patient will not be able to achieve an anterior oral seal
  • The patient will find alternative ways to achieve an anterior oral seal (correct)
  • The patient will have a lip-to-tongue seal
  • What is the effect of circumoral muscular activity on the Class II div.1 incisor relationship?

  • It has no effect on the skeletal pattern
  • It exacerbates the skeletal pattern
  • It moderates the effect of the skeletal pattern (correct)
