The source material offers a detailed overview of various systems used to classify malocclusion, which refers to the misalignment of teeth and jaws. It first establishes the *definition and objectives of classification**, explaining that grouping cases simplifies communication and treatment planning for dental professionals. The document focuses heavily on **Angle's Classification**, which is based on the relationship of the maxillary first permanent molar, dividing malocclusion into Class I (normal antero-posterior relationship), Class II (distoclusion), and Class III (mesioclusion), with further subdivisions for the latter two. Additionally, the text outlines other key systems, including **Skeletal Classification* (focusing on jaw bone relationships), *Canine Classification**, and the **Incisor Classification* introduced by the British Standard Institute, all of which use specific tooth relationships to categorize different types of bite issues.
