What is an Underbite Dog?
Underbites are common in some breeds of dog. An underbite is when teeth are not aligned properly, causing the lower row to jut further out than the upper row. Common examples of this include the bulldog, who appears to have teeth protruding over his top lip.
This will often result in the lower row of teeth being visible even when the dog’s mouth is closed.
Underbites in dogs can range from very mild, requiring no action, to very severe, potentially requiring surgery.
Do I have an underbite dog?
In humans, identifying a clear underbite is quite simple, as we all have relatively similar jaw structures.
There is a clear definition and appearance for what is “normal” when it comes to dental health.
However, when it comes to canines, there is a less clear definition of “normal.”
There are a lot of variations from breed to breed and even litter to litter in some cases regarding the look of a dog’s teeth.
Thus, identifying whether or not there will be dog underbite problems is not a question of what is “normal,” but rather what is comfortable and functional.
If a dog has underbite visually, but they can functionally and comfortably chew food, there’s no need to worry.
On the other hand, if your dog has tooth-to-tooth or tooth-to-tissue contact that shouldn’t be there, it can cause pain and discomfort for your furry friend.
True canine malocclusion must be diagnosed by a veterinarian or veterinary dental expert. In some cases, malocclusion can lead to other health issues so it’s important to address it and discuss treatment options with a veterinarian.
Misaligned teeth
Misaligned teeth can also cause damage to gums and the soft tissues of the mouth.
If unaddressed, this can result in discomfort for your dog and an increased risk of infection.
In severe cases, underbites can cause oronasal fistula, a condition in which a hole forms between the mouth and nose.
This can cause severe pain, and in some cases even nasal disease and infection.
Some warning signs to watch out for include signs of oral pain (such as the dog shying away when you pet its face), blood in saliva, abnormally bad breath, and difficulty eating or drinking.
What Causes Underbites in Dogs?
Underbites in canines can fall into one of two categories: skeletal or dental.
Dental malocclusion happens when a dog has a normal facial skeletal structure, but has one or more teeth that are abnormally positioned.
Skeletal malocclusion occurs when the dog’s facial structure is abnormal, resulting in the upper and lower rows of teeth not fitting together properly.
Both dental and skeletal malocclusion causes are at least somewhat genetic. Genetics can increase the likelihood of malocclusion, and these traits can be passed down between generations.
Problems during gestation or early development can also lead to underbites, as can injuries and infections in puppies.
In some breeds, underbites are actually the result of intentional breeding practices.
Some breeders may breed their pups specifically to engineer the type of jaw structure of a bulldog or a boxer.
Like other questionable breeding practices, this crosses a line for some people. Underbites can cause discomfort and health problems for some dogs, so many believe that intentionally breeding underbite dog breeds is wrong.
