Wesley was given braces because his crooked teeth were stopping him from closing his mouth properly.

In cute images posted online by the Haborfront Hospital for Animals, the dog shows his teeth off like so many adolescent teenagers.

The images went viral quickly, with more than 285,730 shares.

"Dental care is just as important for the pets we love as it is for us and we are glad that his cute 'brace face' brought such interest."
