What Are Supernumerary Teeth and Mesiodens?
- Supernumerary Teeth: Extra teeth that develop due to genetic factors, environmental influences, or developmental irregularities.
- Mesiodens: A specific type of supernumerary tooth that grows in the midline of the upper jaw, often between the central incisors.
Supernumerary teeth may appear as single or multiple teeth, and they can vary in size, shape, and position. They may remain unerupted (embedded in the jawbone) or erupt into the mouth.
