Yes dogs can get braces because I read a story about a dentist giving a poodle braces.

i think the dog would get cavities after like a week of braces because dogs don't really brush there teeth and. the dog will probobaly mess with them and mess them up and a dog doesn't care if it's teeth are straight or not. i really don't think there is any orthodonsts around that put braces on animals anyway

Yes. Tufts University recently combined its school of dentistry with its school of veterinary medicine and offers a free dental clinic for dogs of all ages.
No, of course not. Why would a dog need braces?

Braces are a legal way to torture human beings. Dentists try to make it up by allowing you to pick colors.
Please, for the love of God, don't give a poor animal something that hurts and they have no consent towards.

I doubt anyone's going to care if a dog has an overbite!?
