Abstract: A veterinary orthodontic fixture useful in correcting lingual displacement of the mandibular canine teeth of an animal. When the fixture is in place, inclined biting planes coupled to the maxillary cannies cause a buccal displacement of the mandibular cannies so as to move the mandibular cannies into their normal position where they will not traumatically interfere with the gingival tissue of the maxilla. A telescoping rod bridging the fixture from one canine tooth to the other provides a torque resistent element which prevents undue stress from being exerted on the maxillary canine onto which the fixture is attached. Because this rod is telescoping, no inhibiting restraints are placed on the normal growth development of the animal's jaw while the fixture is in place.
