Bjorksclassification

Forward rotation
TypeI
Centre of rotation is the TMJand deep bite is seen.
Lower dental arch is pressed into upper
Under development of anterior face height.
Cause due to occlusal imbalance due to loss of teeth pressure
And also due loss of muscular pressure
7

Forward rotation
Type II
Centreisattheincisaledgeoflowerincisor
Combination-normalincreaseinanteriorheightmarkedincreasein

Increasedposteriorfaceisdueto-

2)Increaseinramusheight-verticalgrowthatcondyle

Anteriorfacialheightisunderdeveloped
Increaseinposteriorfacialheight.
Skeletaldeepbiteisseen.

Condylar inclination
Forward or backward inclination of condylar head is characteristic sign.
In forwardgrowing mandible condyle is upright
In backwardgrowing mandible it is inclined backward.
It is difficult to identify on a lateral cephalogram.

Matrix rotation
Rotation of soft tissue matrix of the mandible relative to the
cranial base.
The soft tissue matrix is defined by tangential mandibular
line.
Centre of rotation is at the condyles
