Malocclusion

Malocclusion literally means "bad bite" malocclusion may be seen as crooked, crowded, or protruding teeth. It may affect a person's appearance, speech, and/or ability to eat. A malocclusion is a misalignment of teeth or incorrect relation between the teeth of the two dental arches. There are many ways to treat malocclusions. See a university trained orthodontic specialist for consultation.
