 6 month old kitten, noted that due to overshot jaw lower canines impinging on hard palate. However on closer examination 309 and 409 are also making indents in the hard palate. 
 Kitten does appear sore if try to close mouth.

&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;d shorten 304 and 404 considerably (extraction is not advisable).&amp;nbsp; Extract 309 and 409.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;From the photos I can&amp;#39;t quite work out what&amp;#39;s going on with the upper cheek teeth. Is 108 duplicated? Is 508 hanging on? There seems to be significant inflammation in that area.&amp;nbsp; There may be extractions to do up there as well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As time passes, you might need to do more extractions but only if problems arise.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
