Hi Lisa. Welcome to YT!

I'm not sure what you mean about the "plate" moving...? (sorry I am not the best expert to answer obviously but I wante to help in what way I can).

Yorkie's are subject to teeth issues. I think it is pretty much a genetic thing with them. Does she have tarter build up on those teeth?

I understand not wanting to put her in for a dental. These little ones are so scary to have under anesthesia. Make sure you get them to do the pre-op bloodwork ok? It is so important so they can test her liver and such..make sure the anesthesia will be safe.

Praying for her to do well and for those teeth to get fixed. She'll be so much more comfortable and happy when they are. We are here for your support during it, also, ok?
