Prognathism is diagnosed by an oral examination.
If the protrusion of either the upper or lower jaw is greater than three centimeters, treatment is usually not attempted. If the protrusion is only mild, corrective orthodontics is generally implemented. The inability of the individual rows of molars or incisors to fit together properly is referred to as malocclusion. Both a protruding upper jaw and a protruding lower jaw are considered conformational flaws, and may or may not cause other functional problems. Indeed, some horses have a significant protrusion, but are still very capable of performing their duties and maintaining their body condition.
