Same case. Which characteristic can be found in this patient, EXCEPT:
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Straight profile (this patient would have a CONVEX profile, not straight)
- A. A convex profile would be an expected/consistent finding given the flared, protrusive incisors described.
- B. Anterior crowding/spacing irregularities, given the description (palatally erupted laterals, buccally erupted canines), would be a plausible consistent finding.
- C. Correct (the exception). A straight profile would NOT be expected in this patient; given the flared, protrusive maxillary incisors, a CONVEX profile would be expected instead.
- D. Increased overjet would be an expected consistent finding given the flared/protrusive maxillary incisors relative to the mandibular arch.
