LANCE CANINE TOOTH
Malocclusions that cause tooth on tooth or tooth on tissue damage need to be resolved. Providing patient comfort and preventing further problems is the goal in treatment. This young Sheltie has multiple problems with contact.
Following a nerve block, a groove is placed in the tissue to create an incline. A composite is bonded to the lower canine tooth to allow the tooth move into the correct location when contacting the groove.
