To correct bad bite or bad bites?

Thanks.

To correct malocclusion is correct.
You have only one bite.

I googled. There are more "bad bites" than "bad bite." Many more. Maybe when your teeth (upper and lower jaws) do not match, it is more than one place.

Malocclusion - from mal-, bad + close. Upper and lower teeth do not aligned when you bite.
