I don't care what the bite looks like at 8 weeks. If it continuously gets better from 8 weeks on it nearly always corrects--some as late as 2 years--I had one that didn't correct until 5 years of age--but she was level at 6 months not truly undershot. But it has been my experience that if the bite gets noticeably worse between 8 and 12 weeks, it rarely corrects. As for being scizzors at 2-5 months and then going off when the bite changes--I've never had one that did that. I've had some whose adult teeth came in correct then went back and forth a little, from scizzors to level and back but never had a perfect scizzors bite that went undershot when the adult teeth came in--all ended up correct. I guess you just have to know the line and go by your experience with it to judge whether or not a bite will go right.
