Yes it does! Malocclusion is when the teeth (incisors) don't line up correctly. You know rabbits teeth are always growing and if you don't give them something to grind them down on then they will get way too long causing Malocclusion! It can be very painful for the rabbit, causing them to not want to eat.

Here's a good website that shows you what malocclusion looks like. Don't worry, they are just drawings! ;)
