OCCLUSION AND MALOCCLUSION IN THE CAT What's normal, what's not and when's the best time to intervene?

摘要

Practical relevance: Malocclusion affecting cats, and treatment thereof, has not been widely described in the veterinary literature, yet is a condition seen in a growing number of breeds, often causing pain and discomfort to the patient. Recognising the problem, and certainly whether it is a hereditary problem (eg, a skeletal malocclusion), is important for the longer term health of pedigree breeds.
