Abstract
Three Maltese dogs, 5 to 7 months old, were admitted to the Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital, Chonnam National University with malocclusion including Class IV mesiodistocclusion. In the first case, the treatment was performed by moving the mandibular canine teeth caudally with orthodontic buttons and Masel chains. The second patient was treated for rostroverted mandibular canines using buttons and chains. When distal movement of the mandibular canine teeth was completed, a maxillary arch wire with finger springs was applied to push the incisor teeth forward. In the third case, the treatment began by moving the mandibular canine teeth caudally with buttons and chains. An arch wire with finger springs was applied at maxilla to move the maxillary incisor teeth labially. Additionally, the mandibular incisor teeth were moved lingually by an elastic band attached to the buttons cemented to mandibular canine teeth. As a result, all patients successfully regained a normal occlusion.
