Possible Causes for malocclusion

Tonsillitis

Some orthodontists believe that chronic mouth breathing from large tonsils and adenoids causes improper alignment of the teeth (malocclusion). [web.archive.org]

This may sometimes cause the teeth to become badly aligned (malocclusion). [health24.com]

Temporomandibular Joint Disorder

However, it is possible that the symptoms of this disorder are associated with other types of malocclusion or even with nearly normal occlusion. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The hallmarks on physical examination are reduced or dysfunctional mandibular range of motion, malocclusion, and joint or preauricular tenderness. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Bruxism

CONCLUSIONS: Malocclusion is not significantly associated with OHRQoL in patients with TMJ-OA. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

There is some literature to suggest that bruxism is correlated with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) and malocclusion. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
