Malocclusion Rethought
From “bad bite” to a broader paradigm: Occlusal Dysmorphisms
In 30 seconds: many “malocclusions” show functional symmetry at neurophysiological tests (MEP, jaw-jerk). Purely occlusal targets risk relapse if neuromuscular factors are ignored. An interdisciplinary model improves long-term stability.
⚡ Why this matters
- Electrophysiology can reveal balanced trigeminal dynamics even with occlusal issues.
- A mechanical-only view may miss neural drivers of orofacial dysfunction.
- Integrating occlusion + neurophysiology reduces relapses and improves outcomes.
📘 What you’ll learn
- How complexity science reframes occlusal stability.
- Why “malocclusion” is often an insufficient label.
- The clinical role of Occlusal Dysmorphisms in rehabilitation.
Paradigm shifts: science can change perspective overnight.
