Abstract: | Malocclusion of the canines, which in dogs is frequent and often has a congenital pattern, remains a challenge to treat. Steeply positioned lower jaw canines are corrected by means of a specifically designed orthodontic intervention. The case at hand was characterized by a combination of a slight skeletal distal bite and compensatory distal tilt of the entire premaxilla (retrusion, caudal tilt) with a mesial tilt of the canines in the upper jaw (rostral and anterior tilt). An individual solution was found which resulted in a functional adjustment of both upper and lower jaws. A model cast device which included both appropriately tilted areas and screws to ensure distal adjustment solved the problem. |
