2. Small Teeth
Some infants with Williams syndrome may develop dental abnormalities. For instance, a common dental issue in these patients is microdontia or the development of teeth that appear smaller than usual. Importantly, microdontia can be associated with several genetic syndromes; hence, it is nonspecific for Williams syndrome.
Other common dental abnormalities in Williams syndrome include enamel hypoplasia (deficient teeth enamel), malocclusion (when upper and lower teeth don’t meet properly), and absence of one or more primary or secondary teeth.
