Malocclusion is usually discovered during routine dental exams or when a person experiences symptoms such as difficulty in chewing or speaking, jaw pain, headaches, or noticeable misalignment of the teeth. X-rays and visual assessments by a dentist or orthodontist can also help diagnose malocclusion.
Malocclusion may be seen as crooked, crowded, or protruding teeth. It may affect a person's appearance, speech, and/or ability to eat.
Some symptoms that might indicate one has malocclusion are crooked or protruding teeth. If one has malocclusion then they may have a poor bite that could cause problems when chewing food, facial pain, or even slurred speech.
The word malocclusion literally means "bad bite." The condition may also be referred to as an irregular bite, crossbite, or overbite.
