This is interesting for anyone who likes equine dentistry.
Critique had a number of ‘extra’ incisors… these were, in fact, baby teeth that had failed to fall out and had ended up pushing the erupting adult teeth out of alignment. You can see the problem baby teeth in the photos with the arrows.
The good news is that once these teeth are extracted, the adult teeth have got space to drift into position. So - we took the offending adult teeth out.
I’ve been taking photos of his teeth each time I’ve examined him. And look now- the adult teeth are drifting into the right position in September 2025 and are now perfectly aligned.
This is much better for him and he now has both a functional and cosmeticly comfortable set of incisors.
