There is no specific treatment for the condition. Only the dental condition can be somewhat modified by timely intervention. As the dental problems is most significant; appropriate measures are important. Some of the suggested options include the following: 1. The primary or the milk teeth should always be carefully assessed for presence of decay and if found these must be restored. Corrective surgery of the teeth and repositioning the bones is also recommended. 2. Application of dentures over the unerupted teeth 3. Extraction of teeth as they erupt. Some dentists do not recommend the removal of primary or supernumerary teeth as it does not necessarily promote eruption of unerupted permanent teeth. Also the permanent teeth may be difficult to extract due to presence of malformed roots. Cosmetic surgeon or plastic surgeon or orthopedic surgeon also be consulted. |

Posted on: 12/06/2008 I have CCD. This biggest issue for me is the lack of structure. Therefore my arms are weak and hurt all the time. My back will hurt unbelievable if I stand in one place fore more than 5 minutes. I wish the educated doctors would get educated about this. I am so frustated with the lack of information and what I do find is very under ratedly correct. The biggest problem is not my mouth. This about this: if you were to build a house out of 1"x1"s and take a chuck or two out of it here and there... how long do you think it would last??? Do you really think with the shoulders not being formed correctly that it would not have an effect. Did you have to think about that first? Is there anyone out there who has some common sense on the matter???

Posted on: 08/28/2008 I have CCD and the information on this site is incorrect. To state that one has to have dentures in today's medical advancements is so sad. I am moderator of a yahoo Cleidocranial Dysplasia site and the truth is this is no longer a fact. Myself and my children, plus many others have been successfully treated and have their own their own gorgeous smiles. Making such a broad statement makes people who find out their child has CCD and searching for answer and have no idea what to expect with CCD feel like there is no hope and there is.
