There is no specific treatment for the bone problems. An oral surgeon should monitor teeth regularly. An otologist should check for hearing problems.

The bone symptoms usually cause few problems. Appropriate dental care is important.

Complications include dental problems and shoulder dislocations.

Call your health care provider if you have a family history of cleidocranial dysostosis and are planning to have a child. Also call if you have a child with similar symptoms.
