OUR DIRECTOR
Spencer LaFlure ACEqD
I've been studying Equine Dentistry for about a decade and learning something new every day.
In the first few years of my study and application, it was from other people's research & development that we all relied on, but I found out that most of that information, other than terminology, did not fit the horse at all. I believe that Equine Dentistry, when done properly, with natural balance in mind must have its point of beginning with the front teeth.
Biomechanically speaking, the relationship of the anatomical alignment of the jaw to the body should be our goal. I proved in a thesis that the natural length and angle of incisors along with the restored biomechanical motion of the jaw will maintain or increase muscle mass in the body of the horse. Natural balance of the Equine mouth is more related to motion and mass than what we have been led to believe. It fits the horse!
Another part of my studies has evolved over the past years on our own ranch. Being able to see topline changes in our own horses brought me to write my thesis. We could see young and old horses would maintain and improve overall body mass and performance. We continue our research here at our ranch on the positive effects Natural Balance Dentistry has on the performance of the horses.
