Orthodontics
Specialized branch of veterinary dentistry that focuses on correcting dental and jaw abnormalities in animals. Just like in human orthodontics, this field aims to improve the overall oral health and functionality of animals by addressing issues such as misaligned teeth, overbites, underbites, and overcrowding. Veterinary orthodontists employ various techniques and devices, including braces, aligners, and other orthodontic appliances, to bring about proper dental alignment and enhance an animal’s bite mechanics. By providing orthodontic care, vets can help alleviate pain, improve chewing ability, and prevent future dental complications, ultimately promoting the overall well-being of their animal patients.
