3. Diagnosis
Dentists usually detect malocclusion during routine dental exams. The doctor will be able to see that the teeth are misaligned or twisted. They may also see evidence of injury to the inside of the mouth due to accidental biting. The dentist may order x-rays of the teeth and jaw to help them to examine and assess the alignment of the teeth in more detail.
