Popis: Lingually displaced mandibular canine teeth (304, 404) were treated by applying inclined planes in five bull terrier dogs aged 10–19 months. The inclined planes produced interrupted tipping forces and were left in place for 3 weeks. The orthodontic movement technique successfully resolved the malocclusions. In two cases the treatment had to be repeated, perhaps because the animals were 10 and 12 months old and the device was removed too early. Canine teeth occlusion was normal in all five dogs when last examined 3 months following completion of treatment.
