Severe malocclusion: Malocclusion is when teeth do not line up where peaks meet valleys and afford the best esthetic as well as functional alignment. Sever malocclusion would mean that teeth are not lining up at all where peaks would normally meet valleys, teeth appear crooked and crowded together, not enough room for some teeth, making itdifficult to eat properly and even speak properly.

Malocclusion: Means"bad bite." Severity determined by the complexity of the case, whether malrelationships are dental, skeletal, or both, damage because of the malocclusion, and many other factors. Ask an Orthodontic Specialist to examine you and point out exactly what doesn't fit/work properly.
