title: The diagnosis and treatment of orthodontic problems.
abstract: Veterinary orthodontics is the most recent and untouched discipline in veterinary dentistry. A thorough understanding of the craniofacial growth, development, and principles of orthodontics is important to identify malocclusions and to develop treatment planning. Once a treatment schedule is devised, the potential problems of orthodontic movement must be addressed and understood so that correct movement is accomplished while the animal's health is maintained.
