<p><b>Abstract.</b> Traditional dentistry frames “malocclusion” as a biomechanical problem.
Masticationpedia widens the lens: the masticatory system is a <i>complex system</i>
where occlusion, neurophysiology (trigeminal circuits, reflexes), and muscle dynamics co-determine function.
We call this paradigm <b>Occlusal Dysmorphisms</b>.</p>

* Many “malocclusions” show <b>functional symmetry</b> at neurophysiological tests (e.g., MEP, jaw jerk).

* Purely occlusal targets risk <b>relapse</b> if neuro-muscular factors are ignored.
