2. Common Symptoms

Symptoms depend on the type and severity of the malocclusion. Commonly, the misalignment is visible, causing changes in the appearance of the face. People with malocclusion often find they accidentally bite their cheeks, tongue, or lips frequently. Malocclusion can also cause pain or discomfort when eating. The misalignment can affect the way a person forms speech and may lead to issues such as a lisp.
