How much does it cost for a dog to have braces fitted on its teeth?
Orthodontic braces can be used for dogs to correct bad bites that are created by malocclusion, which is the malposition of the teeth resulting in the faulty meeting of the teeth and jaws. This orthodontic treatment is used to create a healthy, comfortable bite, which helps prevent future problems such as: Temporomandibular joint abnormalities Periodontal disease Soft tissue trauma Facial growth Development aberrations Braces may be needed in trauma cases such as bite wounds, congenital or prenatal problems and genetic abnormalities. Other reasons your dog may need braces may include: Infectious diseases Nutritional imbalances Endocrine problems Chemical and radiation effects Malocclusion of the teeth can be severe and can lead to eating problems, growth deformities of the oral cavity and face, periodontal disease, soft tissue trauma, and genetic problems in reproduction.
