A dental condition where the upper front teeth extend too far forward over the lower front teeth, creating an abnormal bite.
From Latin 'antero-' (before, front) combined with 'clusion' from 'claudere' (to close). This medical term emerged in dentistry in the 19th century to describe improper tooth positioning.
Anteroclusion is the opposite of what orthodontists call a normal bite—it's so common that millions of people get braces to fix it! Your bite affects not just your smile but how efficiently you can chew food.
