Inclined Plane – Crown Extensions

Orthodontic appliances like inclined planes or crown extensions can reposition misaligned canine teeth, preventing trauma and preserving tooth function without altering their shape.

Dog Braces (Orthodontics)

To address mesioverted (‘lanced’ maxillary canine teeth) and manage linguoversion when the maxillary diastema (the space between the third incisor and canine teeth) is too narrow.

Pulp Exposed Teeth

If untreated, injured teeth in pets can lead to painful complications. Prompt evaluation and treatment, including fillings or extractions, are essential to prevent further issues.

Intrinsically Stained Teeth

Internal discolouration in teeth often indicates underlying trauma, resulting in colours like pink, blue or grey. These teeth are usually dead, requiring root canal therapy or extraction.

Enamel Hypoplasia

Thinning or absent enamel increases tooth sensitivity, plaque buildup and risk of damage. Treatment focuses on protecting or rebuilding the tooth structure.

Avulsion of Teeth

When a tooth is completely knocked out or displaced from its socket due to trauma, prompt repositioning is critical to preserve the tooth and allow for proper healing.
