As expected, the slope in oscillation frequency and dynamic stiffness, according to the severity of dental malocclusion, showed a positive trend for ES ( p = 0.009; p = 0.015) and M ( p = 0.032; p = 0.038).

On the contrary, the slope of SCM showed a negative trend in oscillation frequency ( p = 0.042) and dynamic stiffness ( p = 0.048), which means that a loss of tension appears as the number of malocclusal traits increases.
