It involves the teeth of the lower mandible (lower arch) not being aligned with those of the maxilla (upper arch) or a general misalignment, which results in a lack of contact between the teeth, &#8220;offset&#8221; jaws, and incorrect alignment. <\/p>\n\n<p style=\"font-size:17px\">This problem can be resolved with the help of an experienced orthodontist, but should not be underestimated. In severe cases, malocclusions can lead to serious functional problems with chewing or speech, as well as numerous other complications. <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:70px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns link has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-665eb2d1ce2893b7560da76d703c15eb is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"color:#c4707c;background-color:#c4707d12\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Table of Contents<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#causes-malocclusions-dentaires\">What are the causes of dental malocclusions?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#differents-types-malocclusions-dentaires\" data-type=\"internal\" data-id=\"#differents_types_malocclusions_dentaires\">The different types of dental malocclusions<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#symptomes-malocclusions-dentaires\">Dental Malocclusions: Consequences and Symptoms<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#soigner-malocclusions-dentaires\">How to treat dental malocclusions?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:80px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"causes-malocclusions-dentaires\" style=\"font-size:28px\">What are the causes of dental malocclusions?<\/h2>\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/dgva.bmajor.digital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Illustration-malocclusion-Dental-Geneva.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-44797\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dentalgeneva.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Illustration-malocclusion-Dental-Geneva.jpg 600w, https:\/\/dentalgeneva.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Illustration-malocclusion-Dental-Geneva-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dentalgeneva.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Illustration-malocclusion-Dental-Geneva-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The position of the teeth prevents proper chewing. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/dgva.bmajor.digital\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Illustration-occlusion-normale-Dental-Geneva.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-44799\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dentalgeneva.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Illustration-occlusion-normale-Dental-Geneva.jpg 600w, https:\/\/dentalgeneva.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Illustration-occlusion-normale-Dental-Geneva-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dentalgeneva.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Illustration-occlusion-normale-Dental-Geneva-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">After orthodontic correction, the teeth fit together perfectly.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<p style=\"font-size:18px\">There are different causes of dental malocclusion:<\/p>\n\n<ol style=\"font-size:17px\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hereditary factors.
