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

PREDICTION OF MANDIBULAR GROWTH ROTATION BJORK Am J Orthod1969
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
