Overbite vs Overjet: "Other terms confused with 'overbite' "[edit]

The section Other terms confused with "overbite" explicitly differentiates between "overbite" and "overjet", but the overjet link redirects back to overbite. Can a knowing person fix? Thx. Smittee (talk) 08:51, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Took care of that. Overjet now has it's own article.heat_fan1 (talk) 20:19, 12 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A percentage?[edit]

From the article "... and is commonly expressed as a percentage." ... a percentage of what?? 132.165.76.2 (talk) 15:02, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Took care of this. It's a percentage of the mandibular incisor height.heat_fan1 (talk) 20:19, 12 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Pictures?[edit]

Pictures would be most helpful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.107.240.161 (talk) 17:57, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As a non-dental person, figures would have been helpful. Appears to me that the chewing teeth do not align, so my friend that was repaired by surgery, August 12, 1996, was fixed so she could chew properly, not mearly a appearance issue. She did not understand, I did not know. Tom Roscoe bluepuma65 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.25.223.128 (talk) 13:43, 5 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Useless as written[edit]

Only someone with a medical education could understand this article as written. And since they would presumably already know this information, the article has no audience.

Please write a lead-in in simple English, and push the rest of the article to a section labeled "In technical terms" or something like that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.51.185.47 (talk) 03:54, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Taboo Topic?[edit]

Why the obfuscation and lack of picture? 67.206.183.141 (talk) 16:20, 29 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

QI[edit]

According to QI overbite is caused by the use of cutlery. Is this true? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.139.81.0 (talk) 20:39, 10 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
