The Center for Neuromuscular Based Horse Dentistry is at the cutting edge of horse dental practices.

What is Neuromuscular based Horse Dentistry?
Neuromuscular Based Horse Dentistry™, is dedicated to realigning the jaw to achieve optimal neuromuscular, proprioceptive and physical function in a horse’s whole body. Starting with the incisors, it provides guidance and stability to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), followed by adjustments to the molar table surface to provide anatomically correct inclination. By adjusting the inclination of a horse's dentition, the horse gains a complete and natural movement of its jaw*. This balances the TMJ and maximizes surface-to-surface contact between teeth, allowing the horse to maintain or regain its full, natural bodily function.
* For the average horse, this allows its mandible complete lateral motion (side-to-side) and 3-4mm of anterior/posterior motion (forward and back).
