Malocclusion
Defective dental occlusion, also known as malocclusion, occurs when the upper and lower teeth do not fit together properly when closing the mouth.
How it is noticed: It may appear as crowded, spaced, or misaligned teeth, and is sometimes accompanied by difficulty biting or discomfort in the jaw.
Why treat it? In addition to appearance, a misaligned bite can affect chewing and oral hygiene.
Who treats it? Orthodontics is the specialty dedicated to correcting dental alignment, with support from general dentistry and, in certain cases, maxillofacial surgery. If you notice that your bite does not fit well, a dental evaluation will guide you on the available options.
