Medical Encyclopedia: Malocclusion of teeth

Medical Encyclopedia: Malocclusion of teeth


Occlusion refers to the alignment of teeth and the way that the upper and lower teeth fit together (bite). Malocclusion is the most common reason for referral to an orthodontist. Most malocclusion is mild enough not to require treatment. If a severe misalignment is present, orthodontics and/or oral surgery may be required.
