成都大熊猫繁育研究基地与四川大学华西口腔医院联合为幼年大熊猫"北俠"实施了全球首例下颌不对称功能矫形治疗1。这只大熊猫因母兽育幼不当导致左前肢损伤和下颌歪斜，出生不到24小时内接受了截肢手术1。
医疗团队采用了人类牙套矫正技术对"北俠"进行治疗，治疗于2023年初进行，手术从晚间9时进行至凌晨1时，涉及麻醉和矫正器安装1。经过治疗，如今4岁的"北俠"身体健康，下颌偏斜已基本纠正，吮吸、咀嚼和吞咽功能恢复正常1。这一病例已于7月刊登在国际牙科期刊《安格尔正畸医师》上1。参与治疗的医生表示，"其实技术不是难点，真正难的是认识大熊猫本身"1。
A young giant panda named "Bei Xia" at the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding has become the world's first of its species to undergo asymmetric jaw correction treatment using orthodontic braces designed for humans.1 The panda suffered left forelimb injury and mandibular misalignment after improper handling by its mother shortly after birth, requiring amputation surgery within 24 hours—a procedure without precedent in giant panda breeding history.1
The corrective treatment was performed in early 2023 through a collaborative effort between the Chengdu base and the West China School of Stomatology at Sichuan University.1 The procedure, which lasted from 9 p.m. until 1 a.m., involved anesthesia and installation of orthodontic appliances to address the jaw misalignment.1 The case has since been published in the international dental journal The Angle Orthodontist in July.1 Now four years old, Bei Xia has made a full recovery, with the jaw deviation corrected and normal functions—sucking, chewing, and swallowing—restored.1 According to the treating veterinarian, Dr. Long Hu, "The technique itself is not the difficulty; the real challenge is understanding the giant panda itself."1
