Upar ke side ke ek dant bahut chhota hai — conical ya peg jaisa shape। Doosre normal dant ke paas bahut ajeeb lagta hai। Yeh peg lateral incisor hai। Dr. Ritu Goyal, MDS।
Peg Lateral Incisor Kya Hai
Upper lateral incisor (upar ke side ke dant jo central incisor ke paas hote hain) ka ek genetic variation jisme dant develop karte waqt enamel formation incomplete hoti hai — dant conical ya "peg" shaped reh jaata hai। Bilateral (dono sides) ya ek taraf ho sakta hai।
Kyun Hota Hai
Genetic condition — family mein bhi ho sakta hai। Enamel-forming cells poori tarah activate nahi hote। Normal healthy dant hai — bas shape chhoti।
Treatment Options
1. Dental Bonding (Composite)
Fastest aur affordable — resin se dant ka size aur shape build up kiya jaata hai। ₹1,500-3,000। 1-2 ghante mein natural-looking dant।
2. Veneer
Porcelain ka natural looking cover। Zyada durable, zyada aesthetic। ₹12,000।
3. Crown
Agar dant bahut chhota ho ya structurally weak — crown better option।
Kab Treat Karein
Functional aur cosmetic concern dono hote hain। Cosmetically — smile balance। Functionally — gap aur bite issue। Treatment optional hai lekin highly recommended।

5-7 saal achhe se. Phir refresh ho sakta hai. Natural dant ko koi nuksaan nahi.
Usually nahi — treatment se normal appearance aata hai. Aur if braces bhi need ho toh pehle braces, phir bonding/veneer.
Bonding ya veneer se size match kiya jaata hai — shade aur size dono side se balance karte hain.
