It looks like Dustin Henderson might be sporting a new look when he returns in Stranger Things Season 4. Gaten Matarazzo has just confirmed that he underwent surgery for cleidocranial dysplasia and his front teeth may finally come out soon.
Matarazzo confirmed that he had his fourth surgery for cleidocranial dysplasia and even shared a post-surgery photo. Check it out below.
"Though my expression in this picture may not show it, the surgery was a complete success. This was such A big one, it may be the last one I need. Hopefully at least," Matarazzo wrote. He then added some helpful information about his condition.
"Those who suffer from Cleidocranial Dysplasia usually have Supernumerary teeth, which are extra teeth that grow in the gums. I've had several surgeries to extract these teeth from within my gums and help expose the teeth that should have already grown in considering my age," Matarazzo wrote.
The young actor also took the time to extend his gratitude to his supporters. "My recovery for the past few days has been great and I can't thank the team that did the surgery enough. Thank you all for your kind wishes and prayers. It means a lot," he wrote. You can learn more about cleidocranial dysplasia here.

Stranger Things Season 4 has not yet been given an official release date. Stay tuned for more updates on this story.
