Malocclusion: Malocclusion, bad bite, may be due to dental and/or skeletal malrelationships in all 3 planes of space, transverse (side to side), sagittal (front to back--Class II falls into this category, and vertical (top to bottom, as in open bite or deep overbite). See a specialist Orthodontist (initial exam usually free) for a discussion of your problems ad a description of possible treatment options.
