Alignment concerns tooth positions within a row. Bite concerns how upper and lower teeth come together.
In the overview, the top view follows one curved row. The paired view introduces a second row and a new question. Keep the view label in sight as you read: changing the view changes the information available.
These are original, simplified drawings for learning. Their shapes are fixed examples, with no measurements or scores. They are not pictures of a patient or a result to aim for.

Learn a relationship, then try a complete reading
The first lesson follows the outlines in one row. The second keeps upper and lower labels visible while changing the direction of the question. The third brings two views into a single fictional explanation with a stated discussion goal.
You can start anywhere. Each chapter explains its drawings in words as well, so the lesson remains useful when printed or read without the pictures. There is no quiz or photograph to upload.
Use the words from your own conversation
If you have already had an assessment, return to the view or phrase that was difficult to follow. You might say, "Could you show me which relationship you mean in this view?" That gives the next explanation a clear starting point.
