Malocclusion in chins


Hi all,
I am wondering how many of the chin people here have seen/treated a chins with malocclusion.
Just doing some research.
I have seen some fine animals get sick, and now wonder how much is heredity and how much is injury or illness related.
We all know chins can go off their feed for many reasons, and that in turn can cause teeth problems.
I am not looking to blame, I don't think we can be held responsible for a gentic defect unless we breed carriers knowingly.
I'm just looking to see how prevalent the problems is.
You don't have to give any info you don't want to, I'm not looking for breeders, just a good idea on how many carriers may be out there in hopes of better educating customers.

I have seen 4 cases now in 8 years, how about you all, how many and how long have you bred/kept chins.

Thanks a bunch
