<< You are wrong about that one. I have seen braces on cavaliers teeth and the owner had them put there not to correct a bite but to keep the dog from loosing the teeth from gum disease while the dentist was treating the problem. >> I had wondered about the subject because sometimes when my Labradors have aged their bites go level and the teeth get worn literally in half. My labradors often live to 15. My cavalier was close as ayounger dog and I wondered if those tiny teeth would just break in half and cause pain. The dentist in Houston who does the show dogs teeth told me they do not do toys as the teeth are not implanted deeply enough and would just fall out and the braces were childs braces they use. I have never had one in braces myself but do feel bad for the older 12 - 15 yr olds whose teeth are so worn down. This was not a showing issue but a wanting to keep teeth healthy question.Chere Workman ========================================================= "Magic Commands": to stop receiving mail for awhile, click here and send the email: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=SET%20CKCS-L%20NOMAIL to start it up gain click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=SET%20CKCS-L%20MAIL E-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] for assistance.
