Orthodontics

Dedicated to ensuring pets enjoy a comfortable bite, orthodontic procedures play a crucial role in alleviating pain and trauma. Young animals, particularly puppies and kittens, often endure distressing malocclusions. Dr. Startup and Dr. Burton possess extensive expertise in conducting bite assessments, offering genetic guidance, and administering orthodontic interventions. Swift intervention for malocclusions in juvenile animals proves vital in minimizing discomfort and averting issues during the emergence of adult teeth. Similarly, addressing malocclusions in mature patients aids in mitigating pain and forestalling future complications, thereby significantly enhancing their overall quality of life. Treatment modalities encompass the use of appliances for tooth repositioning, targeted tooth extractions, and crown reduction therapy accompanied by vital pulp therapy. Our primary aim remains ensuring your pet enjoys a functional and pain-free occlusion.
