The presence of malocclusion means the abnormal growth of craniofacial bone, leading to skeletal and dental defects and affecting facial harmony, appearance, and dental function. Primary causes include abnormal development of teeth, genetic factors, dental trauma, oral habits, dental caries, and periapical and pulpal lesions. In addition, vitamin D deficiency can also cause skeletal malocclusion and increase the risk of a narrowed upper arch, a crossbite, and crowding of teeth.
