Abstract
Closing maxillary and mandibular diastemas is facilitated by a multidisciplinary approach involving orthodontics and prosthodontics. This case study demonstrates the management of a discrepancy in maxillary and mandibular anterior tooth widths. The problem is resolved by limited orthodontic treatment followed by porcelain laminate veneers. Anterior spacing is one of the major reasons adults seek esthetic treatment. Multidisciplinary treatment (periodontics, orthodontics and/or prosthodontics) is often indicated for an optimal result.
