A bstract — Diagnostic guide lines are presented to help the general practitioner to correctly differentiate the “simple” from the “difficult” case of malocclusion. These aids to diagnosis are set out in an orderly fashion to encourage a closer and more systematic examination of the bite of every patient presenting for dental treatment. Certain types of appliances are suggested as adequate to cope with the malocclusion, once the correct diagnosis has been made.
