It is a reference \u201cbite position\u201d used to describe how upper and lower teeth meet. Dentists use it in diagnosis, treatment planning, and when making restorations, crowns, bridges, dentures, and occlusal splints. It is often discussed alongside related terms like *centric relation* and *maximum intercuspation* (the tightest fit of the teeth)."}
