Molars have projections that come off of them called cusps. The projections that are closer to the cheek on a top molar should contact no tooth structure, while the inside cusps should go between the cusps of the bottom tooth to rest in this pocket. The bottom tooth's cusps are just the opposite: the inside cusp touches no tooth structure while the cusps closer to the cheek go in between the cusps of the top tooth. When molars touch cusp to cusp, this causes strain on the mouth, along with the TMJ. This can lead to more severe problems in the future.
