Edge to Edge: In orthodontic parlance, overbite is a vertical relationship and underbite is a description of the horizontal relationship of the teeth, with the lower jaw and teeth being too far forward. Overjet or maxillary protrusion is when the upper teeth are too far forward. If there is no overjet and no underbite, then the front teeth are probably hitting edge to edge and subject to wearing down.
