*Abnormal wear of [[Oral Cavity - Teeth & Gingiva - Anatomy & Physiology|teeth]] in herbivores may result from irregular grinding of molars as well as from periodontal disease.
*Sharp edges usually form on the lingual aspect of the mandibular [[Oral Cavity - Teeth & Gingiva - Anatomy & Physiology|teeth]] and the buccal aspects of the maxillary molars and may cause quite severe oral lacerations.
**The condition is sometimes known as “'''shear mouth'''”.
*Malocclusion of [[Oral Cavity - Teeth & Gingiva - Anatomy & Physiology|teeth]] may be acquired as a result of trauma and loss or displacement of [[Oral Cavity - Teeth & Gingiva - Anatomy & Physiology|teeth]].
*It is particularly important in those teeth which continue to grow excessive growth, interference with prehension of food or even growth of the [[Oral Cavity - Teeth & Gingiva - Anatomy & Physiology|tooth]] into adjacent structures.
*Malocclusions in dogs and cats may arise from retention of deciduous [[Oral Cavity - Teeth & Gingiva - Anatomy & Physiology|teeth]] in the young animal.
*Malocclusion of [[Oral Cavity - Teeth & Gingiva - Anatomy & Physiology|teeth]] may also occur as a result of malformations of the jaws. The terminology used for these is rather confusing and the following should assist:
**'''Prognathism''' is an abnormally long lower jaw.
**A similar effect is produced by '''brachygnathia superior''' (ie short maxilla). Both conditions may be referred to as ''undershot jaw''.
***A typical breed affected is the '''Boxer'''.
**'''Retrognathism''' is an unusually short lower jaw. This may also be called '''brachygnathia inferior''' (i.e. short mandible). The condition is referred to as ''overshot jaw'' or ''parrot mouth''.
***Typical breeds affected are the '''Borzoi''' or '''Rough Collie'''.
