Molar–incisor hypomineralization: paediatric and orthodontic considerations

Abstract

This article provides an overview of the paediatric and orthodontic considerations when treating patients with molar–incisor hypomineralization (MIH). Effective management of MIH often requires input and care provision from both paediatric and orthodontic specialties, resulting in collaborative care between these two specialties with a combined treatment plan and regular communication in order to provide the gold standard of care.CPD/Clinical Relevance: The GDP should be aware of the clinical features of MIH and when to refer to secondary care.
