Can a malocclusion cause bullying?

Join me for a summary exploring bullying and its

relationship with malocclusion, with a contemporary review of evidence showing
the psychological effects various malocclusions can cause young people. This
podcast is a summary of Andrew DiBiase’s lecture last year at the British
Orthodontic Conference. Andrew’s research explores what factors moderate
bullying, and what factors can be protective against bullying.
