Hyperdontia is the condition of having supernumerary teeth, or teeth that appear in addition to the regular number of teeth. They can appear in any area of the dental arch.
Ortho consult needed... ASAP.
Excuse me Drs. These are normal deciduous teeth with typical anatomy and not supernumerary!.
Is it just me or does it look like the wrong row of teeth were taken out?
Reminds me of a Dental Anatomy type quiz around 1977. Primaries for sure..."4 on the floor." Smile-On!
Those look like permanent teeth coming in lingual to the decidious teeth that were extracted...

6yWorth discussing. Were there 4 deciduous incisors that exfoliated, leaving room for eruption of 4 supernumerary teeth that were followed by 4 lingually displaced permanent incisors? Or is this simply 4 permanent incisors that were displaced lingual to 4 non-resorbing deciduous incisors, the cause of lingual displacement being arch length insufficiency? As there is no maxillary midline diastema I would think the problem is crowding/lingual displacement rather than hypodontia. Important that this child see an Orthodontist as soon as possible as simply removing the overretained deciduous incisors will not resolve the overall tooth-size to bone-size discrepancy.
