Increase in demand for an aesthetic smile and availability of new developed materials has encouraged dentist in attempting a more conservative treatment options. The decision making process for the treatment of aesthetic areas is based on achievement of a healthy, harmonious and pleasant smile. These conditions are directly associated with a solid knowledge of tooth anatomy , proportions as well as smile line, soft tissue morphology and osseous archeiture.. An attempt to provide a solutions for cases that have been compromised by malpositioned anterior teeth, clinicians traditionally decide an orthodontic approach. Nevertheless , orthodontic therapy may be rejected by patient due to occupational limitations of time and appearance during treatment .the potential for orthodontic relapse has inspired the use of tooth preparations and restorative dentistry to recreate tooth dimensions and proportions to commensurate with post-orthodontic results from both an aesthetic and functional clinical outcome. . This case report represents a combined approach of using metal-ceramic and all-ceramic restorations for prosthetic rehabilitation of malpositioned anterior teeth as cost effective method.
