If you believe that your cat is suffering from a dental malocclusion or crowding, your vet may suggest consulting a specialized dental veterinarian to evaluate the cat's teeth. This consultation might include an X-ray exam of the cat's mouth to assist with an accurate diagnosis that will help determine the appropriate orthodontic treatment for your feline friend. The Cat Fanciers Association (CFA) prohibits cats in the show ring that have had orthodontic care. Some malocclusions develop as a result of a hereditary malocclusion. Often cats who are successful in the show ring are sought after as breeding animals. If they have the genetic tendency to propagate malocclusions, it is not possible to detect and prevent perpetuation of the defect in their offspring if the malocclusion of the breeding parents has been professionally corrected.

A healthy mouth is just as important for pets as it is for humans—especially since an estimated 50-90 percent of cats older than 4 have some degree of dental disease ( 1). Dental disease is not only painful but also leads to bacteria from the mouth entering the bloodstream, causing systemic chronic inflammation and showering the body’s organs with bacteria. It’s important to remember that any orthodontic treatment for cats should only be performed by a licensed veterinarian with experience in treating dental issues in animals. A thorough examination of your cat’s teeth and jaw will need to be conducted before any treatment can be recommended.Following any anesthetic event, your cat may be a bit nauseous for a few hours or may develop constipation for a few days. If they are vomiting, not eating after 24 hours, or do not have a bowel movement after five days, seek veterinary advice from your vet. It is important to understand that not all dental problems in cats can be solved by braces. Some dental issues require surgery or extraction. It is always advisable that a cat's dental issues are assessed by a vet, who will recommend the best way to help the cat. Only an experienced vet can determine if braces can help your cat, and if so, what braces would be most suitable for the issue. While braces for cats may not be a common sight, they can be an effective treatment option for certain dental issues. Braces are typically used to correct malocclusions, which are problems with how the teeth fit together in the mouth. These issues can cause discomfort and make it difficult for cats to eat or drink properly. There are several specific dental issues that braces can correct in cats, including an overbite, underbite, crossbite, and overcrowding. Braces can be made from a variety of materials such as metal, ceramic, and clear plastic. They can also be tailored to fit each patient’s unique dental needs. They are typically used for patients with overcrowding, malocclusion, or other dental issues that impact their quality of life.

For some inexplicable reason, I get fewer questions from my cat clients about their kitty’s teeth and mouth than inquiries from dog guardians. I have a few theories on this phenomenon: Cats, just like us humans, can face dental problems such as crooked teeth, jaw misalignment, and overcrowding. However, what many cat owners may not know is that their furry friends can also benefit from braces. But how do you know if your cat needs them, and what is the process of getting them fitted?

When it comes to oral health, cats are not immune to dental issues. Just like humans, they can experience misalignment, overcrowding, and other dental problems that may require intervention. This brings up an intriguing question: can cats have braces? While the idea of feline braces may sound amusing or even far-fetched, it is worth exploring whether orthodontic treatment can benefit our feline friends.
