Class II, division 2 malocclusion is characterized by a retroclined maxillary central incisors and a deep overbite. This dental arrangement leads to a greater vertical overlap of the anterior teeth, resulting in a deep bite. The deep bite is a constant clinical feature due to the inclination of the upper incisors, which restricts the eruption of the lower incisors and maintains the vertical overlap. Other features like open bite, crossbite, or spacing are not consistently present in this malocclusion type.
