 # Closed bite is seen in which type of malocclusion?
A. Class I
B. Class II div 1
C. Class II div 2
D. Class III


The correct answer is C. Class II div 2.

Some children exhibit a skeletal vertical deficiency (short face), almost always in conjunction with an anterior deep bite and some degree of mandibular deficiency and often with a Class II division 2 malocclusion. The reduced face height is often accompanied by everted and prominent lips that would be normal if the face height were normal.
