been compromised by malpositioned anterior teeth, clinicians traditionally
decide orthodontic approach. Nevertheless, in some cases changes in tooth
morphology, tooth size, and shape is compulsory for optimal aesthetics. The
advent in contemporary aesthetic materials and preparation techniques empowered
the clinicians to deliver a promising result with minimal biologic cost. This
article presents the clinical considerations that must be addressed when
