Symptom Breakdown
What you feel
You notice extra teeth erupting beyond the normal 32 adult teeth (or 20 baby teeth). They may cause severe crowding, erupt in abnormal places like the palate, or cause hidden pain and swelling if they remain impacted within the jawbone.
Why it happens
A developmental anomaly, often genetic, where extra tooth buds form in the jaw. The most common type is a "mesiodens," which grows between the upper front central incisors.
Clinical Advice
- Early radiographic evaluation (OPG or 3D CBCT scan) is critical to locate hidden or impacted supernumerary teeth.
- Do not delay consultation, as extra teeth can physically block normal teeth from erupting or resorb the roots of adjacent healthy teeth.
Treatment Note
Surgical or simple extraction of the extra teeth, frequently followed by orthodontic treatment (braces or aligners) to guide normal teeth into alignment.
Restore Arch Harmony and Alignment
Extra teeth don't just affect your cosmetic appearance—they can create major structural blockages, preventing permanent teeth from coming in and causing severe crowding. By carefully mapping the jaw with advanced imaging, extracting the supernumerary teeth, and employing targeted orthodontics, we can guide your bite back into perfect, healthy alignment.
