Welcome to Heron Lakes Animal Hospital

Malocclusions, or misalignments of the teeth, can cause discomfort and lead to other health issues for your furry friend. Our specialized orthodontic services at Heron Lakes Animal Hospital are designed to correct these issues, ensuring your pet can enjoy a happy and healthy life.

What is Orthodontics for Pets?

Orthodontics for pets involves the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of malocclusions. These dental issues occur when a pet’s teeth do not align correctly, which can cause pain, difficulty eating, and other complications. At Heron Lakes Animal Hospital, we offer advanced orthodontic solutions tailored to the specific needs of your pet, ensuring their teeth are properly aligned and their overall oral health is maintained.
