Questions and Answers

What is the result of a clockwise rotation of the mandible?

  • Less anterior facial height and more horizontal change of the chin
  • No significant changes in facial height or chin position
  • More anterior facial height and less horizontal change of the chin (correct)
  • Equal anterior and vertical facial changes

In Schudy's concept, what causes the mandible to rotate counterclockwise?

  • Significantly less growth at the condyles compared to the molar region
  • Equal growth between condylar and vertical growth in the molar area
  • Upside-down positioning of the condyles
  • Greater condylar growth than vertical growth in the molar area (correct)

What facial change is associated with a counterclockwise rotation of the mandible?

  • More horizontal change of the chin and less anterior facial height (correct)
  • Closed bites and more anterior facial height
  • Less horizontal change of the chin and more anterior facial height
  • Open bites and less horizontal change of the chin
