Correct answer: C — Retroclined upper central incisors with deep overbite

Class II Division 2 malocclusion is characterised by retroclined (retroinclined) maxillary central incisors, often with proclined lateral incisors (compensatory), a deep overbite (sometimes complete), and a reduced or normal overjet. The mandibular incisors may be retroclined as well. The deep overbite can be traumatic to the palatal mucosa. Treatment often involves intrusion of incisors and proclination of retroclined centrals.
