Do you have difficulty while biting and chewing? Do you breathe through your mouth? Do you have difficulty biting into food correctly? Are your teeth not aligned properly? Then you might be having malocclusion.

Types of malocclusion:

1. Class 1 malocclusion : when your bite is normal but upper teeth overlaps the lower teeth
2. Class 2 malocclusion/retrognathism/overbite : occurs when the upper jaw severely overlaps the lower teeth
3. Class 3 malocclusion/prognathism/underbite : when your lower jaw juts forward causing it to overlap the upper jaw.

Why treat malocclusion?
Treatment will decrease the risk of dental cavity and eliminate the strain on the TMJ reducing the symptoms of TMJ disorder.
