    I agree and assume they added retraction due to the maxillary lip protrusion relative to E-line (though it’s ethnically acceptable). The fully-proficient response includes 5 of the 6 answers, and I feel the ABO does this to allow for the inherent subjectivity. Just my opinion. 🙂

        Brian, Based on the above logic (retract maxillary incisors due to lip protrusion), then do you think “retract lower incisors” would also be accepted? Or do we want to avoid this due to retrusive mandible, skeletal Class II?

        Thank you.
