Definition: Labiovelarised is a term used in the field of dentistry to describe a condition where the palate (the hard, firm part of the jaw) covers the posterior teeth. This can occur due to an imbalance in tooth development or because there may be underlying issues with the structure of the jaw itself. It can also refer to a condition where there is not enough bone supporting the teeth, which can cause them to protrude from the gum line rather than being naturally aligned.
