Dear Colleagues,

Season's greetings to everyone!

What advice would you give to the owner of this 6-month-old Labrador retriever bitch that has a malocclusion of 404 on the right side only? As you can see the tooth is impacting the palate, and in the past I have recommended a removal orthodontic device such as a suitably sized firm rubber ball, but wondered if anyone had any better ideas.

As ever, thank you for your help with this case.

With best wishes,

David
