Pet Orthodontics

Sometimes pets have a bite that is not quite right. They can have overbites, underbites, or improper positioning of one or more teeth with normal jaw lengths. The purpose of orthodontics in animals is to achieve a comfortable and functional bite. While some teeth are able to be moved, there are times that other treatments are necessary to provide our patients with a comfortable occlusion. This may include reduction of the crown height and endodontic treatment of the teeth or extraction of teeth causing malocclusions. Each patient is evaluated individually and treatment plans for orthodontic work vary based on the specific bite of the pet. While malocclusions are relatively common in dogs, we do also see them in cats.
