Overshot (Parrot Mouth)
Overshot commonly referred to as a "parrot mouth" is not an uncommon problem. This is where the upper incisors protrude too far forward in relation to the lower incisors. It is also common to find large upper rostral hooks, and large lower caudal hooks on the molar arcades. In most cases a procedure known as an "incisor reduction" and corrective floating, is performed to restore anterior-posterior movement of the jaw, and to reduce pressure that this exerts on the Tempro-mandibular joint.
