Protrusion

The term protrusion offers several meanings, which can be used in different contexts.

  1. This is an orthodontic condition whereby the front teeth jut out, e.g. bi-maxillary protrusion (Crooked sticking-out front teeth in both dental arches)
  2. This term also refers to physically moving a tooth forwards, particularly a front tooth. This is actually a treatment procedure.

The same applies to retrusion which is the opposite of protrusion. Both these terms are examples of the unfortunate lack of clarity surrounding orthodontic terms.
