Comparison of two orthodontical techniques for the correction of lingual deviation of upper incisors in the dog.
Two different orthodontic treatments were applied to dogs exhibiting lingual deviation of maxillary incisors. Two dogs were treated by means of an orthodontic device consisting of an acrylic plate fitted with a counteracting spring. The results were disappointing. These animals and two other dogs were treated with Schwarz's orthodontic device. After 3 to 4 months of treatment, lingual malposition of incisors was successfully corrected. Orthodontic therapy induced problems were unimportant and with collaborating owners could be easily overcome.
