<prompt> A 8 year old male patient complains of difficulty while chewing food. What is the type of bite being displayed by the patient?Brodie biteSunday bitePseudo deep biteTrue deep bite  <response>: Buccal crossbite also known as Brodie syndrome, or scissor bite is a malocclusion where the palatal cusp of a maxillary tooth is buccal to the buccal cusps of the opposing mandibular dentition. Lingual crossbite occurs when the maxillary buccal cusps isare lingual to the buccal cusp tips of the opposing mandibular tooth. Brodie defined a malocclusion as a Brodie bite or Brodie syndrome when the lower jaw telescoped within the maxillary arch i.e. the mandibular teeth were completely contained within the maxillary arch. The first consideration for scissor bite correction is to determine, if orthognathic surgery is necessary.Brodie Syndromebite is a rare form of transverse malocclusion. It was named after Allan G. Brodie, who was the first author to present the case of a patient with this malocclusion in 1952. Other names can be found in the literature: Brodie bite, exaggerated occlusion, or even scissors bite.Ref: Brodie AG. Consideration of musculature in diagnosis, treatment, and retention.
