What is Dental Malocclusion?
Dental malocclusion means the abnormal alignment of the upper and lower teeth. At Jerush Dental & Facial Corrective Centre, Chennai, we specialize in diagnosing and treating dental malocclusion with advanced braces and clips treatment.Causes of Malocclusion
• Childhood behavior consisting of thumb sucking, tongue thrusting, pacifier use after age three, and prolonged bottle feeding
• Too many teeth, a lacking tooth, an impacted tooth, or teeth with an uncommon shape
• Genetic variables and aberrant growth of the jaw
Types of Dental Malocclusion
1. Overjet
The upper front teeth protrude outward, extending beyond the lower teeth.2. Overbite
Excessive vertical overlap of the upper teeth over the lower teeth.3. Anterior Crossbite (Underbite)
Lower front teeth protrude beyond the upper front teeth.4. Spacing
Visible gaps between teeth.5. Diastema
A specific form of spacing, often between the upper front teeth.6. Missing Teeth
Spaces caused by the absence of one or more teeth.7. Impacted Tooth
A tooth that fails to emerge properly.Angle's Classification of Malocclusion
History of Malocclusion Classification In 1894, Edward H. Angle published the first scientific classification of dental malocclusion.Class I Malocclusion: Neutrocclusion
It is the most common malocclusion with a normal bite and light overlap of teeth. Molar relation: The mesiobuccal cusp of the upper first permanent molar occludes with the mesiobuccal groove of the lower first molar. But the line of the occlusion is altered in both arches because of individual tooth irregularities, such as: Crowding, Spacing, Rotations of other localized problems of the tooth, Inter-arch problems like open bite, deep bite, crossbite- • Crowding
- • Spacing
- • Rotations
- • Open bite, deep bite, crossbite
Class II Malocclusion: Distocclusion / Retrognathism / Overbite
The top jaw and enamel critically overlap the decrease jaw and tooth. Molar relation: The mesiobuccal cusp of the maxillary first premolar occludes mesially to the mesiobuccal groove of the mandibular first molar.Class II Division I
- • Upper incisors are proclined,
- • Excessive overjet and deep overbite
- • V-shaped upper dental arch
- • Difficulty closing the lips
Class II Division II
- • Upper central incisors show lingual inclination, often overlapped by upper lateral incisors
- • Deep overbite
- • Broad upper dental arch,
- • Normal lip seal with a deep mental groove
Class III Malocclusion: Mesiocclusion / Prognathism / Anterior Crossbite / Negative Overjet / Underbite
The lower jaw protrudes forward, causing the lower enamel to overlap the upper tooth. Molar relation: The mesiobuccal cusp of the maxillary first premolar occludes distally to the mesiobuccal groove of the mandibular first premolar.Treatment Options for Malocclusion at Jerush Dental & Facial Corrective Centre, Nagercoil
