Braces for parrot mouth?  I think not!  It is nothing more than a physical 
deformity -- one that can be easily lived with.  I have an 8 1/2 year old 
Newfoundland that has an extreme parrot mouth (about 1 1/2 inches!).  He was 
scheduled to be put down as a pup (breeder thought he wouldn't survive 
because he wouldn't be able to hold food in his mouth).  We got word of this 
pup and immediately adopted him.  At the proper time, of course, we had him 
neutered...although I'm not sure if this is genetic.
The dog was spoiled, spoiled, spoiled by us because of his deformity.  
Spoiled to the point of reaching 170 lbs! (he's now at 150).
Couldn't survive to eat? HA!
