; Is this against orthodontics?
: No. It <i>enriches</i> traditional rehab with neuro-physiology and complexity.
; Why “Occlusal Dysmorphisms”?
: Because function may be preserved despite occlusal discrepancies; the label highlights a wider diagnostic frame.

Malocclusion Rethought

From “bad bite” to a broader paradigm: Occlusal Dysmorphisms

 👉 Read the full chapter
 Compare with classical view

⚡ Why this matters

  • Electrophysiology reveals balanced trigeminal dynamics even with occlusal issues.
  • Mechanical-only approaches risk relapse.
  • An interdisciplinary model improves long-term stability.

📘 What you’ll learn

  • How complexity science reframes occlusal stability.
  • Why “malocclusion” is an insufficient label.
  • The role of Occlusal Dysmorphisms in clinical practice.
