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.

5-7개월령의 세 마리 말티즈가 전남대학교 동물병원에 IV급 근원심교합으로 내원하였다. 첫 번째 증례의 부정교합은 교정 버튼과 Masel chain을 사용하여 하악 견치를 뒤쪽으로 이동시켜 교정하였다. 두 번째 증례는 교정 버튼과 체인을 이용하여 전방전위된 견치를 교정하였다. 하악 견치가 후방으로 이동이 완료된 후 상악에 finger spring과 함께 arch wire를 적용하여 전치를 앞쪽으로 이동시켰다. 세 번째 증례는 버튼과 체인을 이용하여 하악 견치를 후방으로 이동시킨 후 상악에 finger spring과 함께 arch wire를 적용하여 전치를 앞쪽으로 이동시켰다. 또한 하악 견치에 부착시킨 버튼에 elastic band를 장착하여 하악 전치를 후방으로 이동시켰다. 결과적으로 모든 환자에서 성공적으로 정상적 교합을 재건할 수 있었다.
