Orthodontics

Malocclusions are abnormal alignment of the teeth and jaws that should be evaluated by a board-certified veterinary dentist as early as possible. As your pet grows, their mouths develop rapidly, and even minor alignment issues can quickly progress into painful or damaging conditions. Early evaluation allows for timely identification of problems such as teeth contacting the palate, abnormal jaw relationships, or retained baby teeth that interfere with normal eruption of adult teeth. Addressing these concerns during growth provides the best opportunity to guide development and prevent long-term complications.
