Class III Malocclusion with Mandibular Base Narrow Canines in a Maltipoo Dog with Maxillary Incisors Preventing Mandibular Canine Eruption

Posted on February 13, 2010 by Brett

This 7 month old Maltipoo has a class III malocclusion with mandibular base narrow canines.  The maxillary incisors are preventing eruption of the canines.  Extraction of the maxillary incisors will allow for continued eruption (although in an abnormal location).  Radiographs show an open apex indicating further eruption is possible.
