This is the view of a 20-year-old horse’s top teeth with his mouth open. The Galvayne’s groove extends the entire labial surface length of the upper corner incisor of the 20-year-old horse. The occlusal surfaces of the lower arches should all be worn and compressed. The upper and lower incisors will meet in a very oblique arch.
