Most people have some type of malocclusion, although it isn't usually serious enough to require treatment.  Malocclusion is dental terminology for teeth that do not allign or fit together properly.  Orthodontics is the specialization of dentistry that corrects malocclusions and brings your teeth into proper alignment.

Malocclusion that is not corrected can affect not only your appearance but your overall profile also.  Teeth that are not aligned properly can contribute to tooth decay, loss of teeth and bone as well as TMJ problems.
