Malocclusion literally means bad bite. Most malocclusions are inherited, however, it is possible to acquire a bad bite from habits such as tongue thrusting and thumb sucking. The premature loss of baby teeth or the extraction of adult teeth can also cause the development of a malocclusion.

Occlusion is another word for your bite — how the teeth in your top and bottom jaw meet with each other. So, a malocclusion means a bad bite — a bite with problems.
