Malocclusion

Malocclusion is an abnormal bite caused by misalignment of the upper and lower teeth. It can range from mild to severe, with symptoms including crowded teeth, protruding teeth, and misaligned jaw. It can develop due to genetics, injury, or an incorrect swallowing pattern. This condition can cause pain, difficulty speaking, and difficulty eating. In more severe cases, jaw surgery may be needed to correct the malocclusion.
