Bite question

4 1/2 mos pup just getting adult teeth. Puppy teeth were right on the edge of a reverse sissor and level bite. So far with her incoming adult teeth it's still barely tetering on the edge of being a very slight reverse sissor but oh so close to a level bite. Do you think she still has a chance of her bite correcting ? How long before jaw development will be complete ?

Re: Bite question

Yes, there is a good chance that the bite will end up being scissor or at least level. If you like everything else about your puppy, don't give up too soon.

One of mine had a perfect scissor bite at 8 wks, went off a bit later on. I checked it almost everyday and thought that it would never correct itself. FInally gave up looking and 8 months later thought to look again ... it was a perfect scissor.
