Correct answer: EIncreased overjet with proclined upper incisors

Class II division 1 is characterised by an increased overjet, typically associated with proclined or prominent upper incisors. This distinguishes it from Class II division 2, in which the upper central incisors are retroclined. A reverse overjet or anterior crossbite is characteristic of a Class III incisor relationship, while a normal overjet is not Class II. The molar and skeletal relationships must be recorded separately: a Class II division 1 incisor relationship is commonly associated with a Class II molar relationship or mandibular retrusion, but neither is required to define the incisor division itself.
