- B. establishing a new correct position of the condyles in the temporomandibular joint.
- C. establishing new occlusal relationship.
- D. increase in vertical dimension of maximum 2 mm.
- E. shortening of the centric slide.

When a congenital discrepancy coexists with acquired changes, a normal relationship never existed and so cannot simply be restored.
