Maxillary Arch is LONGER than mandibular arch; this means:
Every maxillary tooth is more DISTAL that its counterpart; therefore Maxillary 3 rd molar & Mandibular Centrals are the only teeth with 1 opposing counterpart
Maxillary Arch is WIDER than mandibular arch; this means:
Functional cusps are MAX L & Mand B; Non-functional cusps are MAX B & Mand
Jaw Movements: ONLY THE MANDIBULAR ARCH MOVES!!
Working (laterotrusive) = where mandible moves towards Non-working (balancing) = NOT where mandible moves towards Protrusion = mandible forwards Retrusion = mandible backwards Posselts Envelope of Motion
