Although the terms "overshot" and "parrot mouth" are sometimes considered synonymous with "brachygnathia" (e.g. by D.C. Blood in BLOVE, 1988, p. 125), there is an important distinction between the two concepts since "brachygnathia" refers to prognathism of both the upper and lower jaws, whereas "overshot" and "parrot mouth" designate a deformity in which the upper jaw is longer than the lower jaw. 4, record 3, English, - brachygnathia
