True or False: Type one malocclusion must be extracted because they are painful.

Type one malocclusion refers to a misalignment of teeth where the occlusion is correct but the teeth themselves are not in proper alignment. This type of malocclusion does not inherently require extraction solely because it is a malocclusion. In many cases, type one malocclusions can be managed through orthodontic treatment or other dental interventions without resorting to extraction.

While type one malocclusions can lead to discomfort or pain in some situations, particularly if they cause trauma to the soft tissues or other teeth, they are not universally painful. Therefore, while discomfort may dictate the need for treatment, including possible extraction in severe cases, it is not accurate to state that all type one malocclusions must be extracted due to pain.

Hence, it is important to assess each case individually rather than generalizing that extraction is necessary for pain management in type one malocclusions. This nuanced understanding enables better treatment decisions that are tailored to the specific needs of the animal.
