"Malocclusion" (from Latin <i>malum</i> = bad) traditionally labels an improper “closure” of teeth. Yet modern clinical science shows that function cannot be reduced to mechanics alone. Electrophysiological findings (e.g., symmetry in motor-evoked potentials, jaw-jerk, and silent period) often reveal balanced trigeminal dynamics even in the presence of occlusal discrepancies.     | "Malocclusion" (from Latin <i>malum</i> = bad) traditionally labels an improper “closure” of teeth.

This challenges the conventional label “malocclusion” and supports a broader concept: <b>Occlusal Dysmorphisms</b>. Within a complex-systems view of mastication, neuromuscular coherence can coexist with occlusal asymmetries, urging interdisciplinary diagnostics that integrate occlusion with neurophysiology to achieve stable outcomes and reduce relapses.  | This challenges the conventional label “malocclusion” and supports a broader concept: <b>Occlusal Dysmorphisms</b>.
