A worm gear includes a worm shaft including a thread including a tooth flank that defines a concave edge in a tooth profile of the thread; and a worm wheel including a tooth including a tooth flank that defines a convex edge in a tooth profile of the tooth. The worm wheel meshes with the worm shaft in such a manner that the tooth flank of the worm wheel and the tooth flank of the worm shaft, as working flanks, define therebetween an entrance-side clearance as a clearance where the thread of the worm shaft starts to mesh with the tooth of the worm wheel, and an exit-side clearance as a clearance where the meshing terminates, wherein the exit-side clearance is smaller than the entrance-side clearance.
