Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Malocclusion refers to the misalignment of teeth or jaw, resulting in the teeth not meeting properly when the mouth is closed. Periodontal disease, dental caries, and pyorrhea are all conditions that affect the gums and/or teeth, but do not necessarily involve misalignment or improper contact of the teeth.
