Description: Information and educational resources for horse owners on Natural Balance Horse Dentistry and its benefits. By adjusting or removing restrictions in a horse's teeth, Natural Balance Dentistry provides guidance and stability to the temporo mandibular joint (TMJ) which gives a horse optimal neurological and proprioceptive function so it can physically perform to its maximum potential.
Horse dentistry is the anatomical alignment of the occlusal surface, by the adjustment of excessive enamel folds to provide guidance and stability to the temporo mandibular joint (TMJ). This allows for maximum lateral motion and anterior/posterior motion of the mandible to give the horse optimal neurological, proprioceptive and physical performance.
What that means:
By adjusting any restrictions in the horse's dentition, the horse gains a complete and natural movement of the jaw (side to side, forward and back). This balances the TMJ and maximizes surface-to-surface contact between teeth, which allows for full neurological and proprioceptive function to the horse's whole body.
