What it is Filled
A misalignment of the teeth or an incorrect relation between the upper and lower dental arches when the jaws close, classified into classes by the relation of the molars and described by features such as overjet, overbite, crowding, crossbite and open bite, caused by inherited jaw and tooth size, habits such as prolonged pacifier use, tooth loss or injury, and occurring also in animals such as rabbits; malocclusion is assessed by dentists and orthodontists and treated where needed with orthodontic appliances or surgery.
Why it exists Filled
