Vet Clin North Am Small Anim Pract. 1992 Nov;22(6):1453-60. doi: 10.1016/s0195-5616(92)50137-1.

Abstract

Modern feline malocclusion is the result of altered dento-facial proportions from the normal occlusion. The development of the brachycephalic and dolichocephalic head types has resulted in displaced dentition with accompanying soft-tissue trauma.
