Maloclusión de los dientes

El término oclusión se refiere al alineamiento de los dientes y a la forma en que los dientes superiores e inferiores encajan entre sí, o mordida. La maloclusión es la razón más común para una referencia al ortodoncista. En su mayoría, la maloclusión es lo suficientemente leve como para no requerir tratamiento. Cuando hay un desalineamiento severo, puede ser necesario recurrir a la ortodoncia y/o a la cirugía oral
