Open bite/class 3: This might be a bit technical, but an open bite (where you may not be able to come together on your front teeth;) a class 3 bite (where the lower teeth are further out than the upper teeth when the teeth come together;) and cross-bite (when the teeth are angled with some of the upper teeth inside the lower teeth... You should see a dentist and get an explanation along with models or diagrams.

Class II: A rtrognathic chin is the bite most difficult to treat for tmj.

Deepbite: I find a deepbite with a retrognathic (small) lower jaw to be the most difficult.
