Which term matches the description 'the bite is okay, but the teeth are crooked, crowded, or turned'?

• A. Class I Malocclusion
• B. Proper Occlusion
• C. Malocclusion
• D. Open Bite

Answer: (A)

Class I Malocclusion is when the bite is normal, but the teeth themselves are crooked, crowded, or rotated. The key idea is that jaw relationship (the bite) is okay, yet individual teeth are misaligned. That matches the description perfectly: a functioning bite with teeth that are not properly aligned. A general Malocclusion would suggest some bite or jaw problem beyond just crowding of teeth, which isn’t implied here. Proper Occlusion would mean everything is aligned and functioning correctly, and an Open Bite describes a specific condition where the front teeth don’t meet. So the best match is Class I Malocclusion.
