What is good occlusion?

In my book, "Insider's guide to gum disease, orthodontics, and
dentistry. What is not taught in dental school."

I try to define what good occlusion is.  If we don't know what good
occlusion is, how can any dentist refer or judge an orthodontist?

Are braces needed?  Why are braces needed?  Are we in the dark about
orthodontics?

In my book I make the case against treatment for class III bites.
Some class III bites are harmful, others are protective.    Probably
the best bite is a class III with no possible excursions.

In the book, I give warnings on retrusion of mandible.

There you go again mr. occlusion wizard.
So full of sh*t, and narcissistic to boot.

No.

This is complete and utter hogwash.
Proves you know little about the human orthognathic system.

Perhaps you should stick to treating dogs and cats since
you are apparently a veterinarian.

>In the book, I give warnings on retrusion of mandible.

SB was right, *vanity* publishing.

Narcissist at large.
