Malocclusion

Malocclusion, Bite Alignment & Jaw Function is a clear visual guide to common bite relationships, tooth alignment patterns and functional jaw loading. The chart is designed to support patient communication in dental, orthodontic, TMJ-focused and multidisciplinary clinical settings. Rather than presenting malocclusion as simply “crooked teeth”, the chart explains bite alignment as part of a wider functional system. It illustrates the three main occlusion relationships — Class I, Class II and Class III — alongside common bite patterns such as overbite, overjet, underbite, open bite, crossbite, crowding, spacing and deep bite. At the centre of the design, a jaw function illustration connects the teeth, mandible, masseter and temporomandibular joint. This helps practitioners explain how chewing forces are distributed through the bite, and how uneven contact may influence tooth wear, jaw muscle activity or TMJ loading. The chart is especially useful when discussing orthodontic findings, bite assessment, jaw discomfort, tooth wear, crowding, spacing or functional chewing patterns with patients. Its clean visual structure allows practitioners to point directly to the relevant bite pattern and explain it in a calm, accessible way. Clinical Use. This chart can support consultations by helping practitioners explain: Class I, Class II and Class III occlusion relationships. Overbite, overjet, underbite, open bite and crossbite. Crowding, spacing and deep bite. How bite contact may affect chewing force distribution. Why malocclusion should be assessed in relation to both tooth position and jaw function. Ideal For. Dentists, orthodontists, paediatric dental clinics, TMJ-focused clinics, oral health educators, osteopaths, physiotherapists, chiropractors and multidisciplinary clinics working with jaw function, patient education and bite-related explanations.
