This clinical report describes the multidisciplinary oral rehabilitation of a teenage female patient with cleidocranial dysostosis, whose treatment was started in her teenage years. The unique challenges of delayed intervention are described in this report, highlighting the surgical, orthodontic, and prosthodontic care the patient received from age 13 to 21. Maintaining as many natural teeth as possible, orthodontically erupting impacted teeth using a mandibular provisional fixed implant prosthesis as anchor, crowning several natural teeth, and rehabilitating edentulous areas with fixed implant restorations provided the patient with esthetic and functional outcomes.
