Malocclusion refers to misalignment of teeth and jaws, affecting how your upper and lower teeth fit together. **Types of Malocclusion:** **Class I Malocclusion**: Most common type where the bite is normal but teeth may be crowded, spaced, or rotated. **Class II Malocclusion**: Upper teeth protrude significantly over lower teeth (overbite). Can be skeletal (jaw position) or dental (tooth position). **Class III Malocclusion**: Lower teeth protrude beyond upper teeth (underbite). Often requires orthodontic treatment or surgery. **Common Issues:** - Overbite (upper teeth cover lower teeth excessively) - Underbite (lower teeth protrude beyond upper teeth) - Crossbite (teeth don't align properly) - Open bite (space between upper and lower teeth) **Treatment Options:** - Orthodontic braces - Invisalign clear aligners - Functional appliances - Orthognathic surgery (in severe cases) Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent complications like TMJ disorders, speech problems, and difficulty chewing.
