Abstract : Background: For decades, the functional impairments caused by malocclusions have not been of particular interest, particularly when treatment needs are considered. Objectives: The aim of this study was to analyze the relative bite force distribution and to assess the occlusal balance of different Angle's malocclusions using T-scan. Methods: One hundred thirty-two candidates (50 males and 82 females) attending King Abdulaziz University Dental Hospital seeking orthodontic treatment were enrolled in this study. The sample was divided into four groups based on Angle's classification of malocclusion. T-Scan III Version 7.0 (Tekscan Inc., South Boston, MA, USA) was used to record the occlusal balance based on the force trajectory indicator and the relative distribution of bite forces, which were compared using the following variables: Angle's occlusal classification, gender, overbite, overjet, space analysis, lateral guidance and sagittal skeletal relations. Results: There was a statistically significant difference between groups in occlusal balance in which Class III malocclusions had the poorest balance value. Moreover, all groups had more posterior forces, with Class III exhibiting the highest posterior forces. Both Class I occlusion and malocclusion had the highest balancing values. Comparing gender, males had more posterior bite forces and females had more balanced bites. Conclusion: Deep overbite, Class III and Class II cases were associated with poorer balanced bites. Early treatment of these cases is recommended to enhance better bite force distribution and occlusal balance. Keywords: computerized occlusal analysis, occlusal balance, relative bite force distribution, T-scan, Tekscan.
