    Abstract:
    UNLABELLED: The purpose of this paper is to present a case report of an adult Class III patient presenting bilateral congenitally missing maxillary lateral incisors that compromised occlusal function as well as smile and facial esthetics. After the interdisciplinary diagnosis, spaces for prosthetic substitution were opened with the help of miniscrews. The orthodontic therapy achieved a better dental relationship, and the final interdisciplinary treatment results represented a significant improvement in function and both dental and facial esthetics. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: The interdisciplinary treatment of orthodontics and restorative dentistry is very important because the two complement each other in search of the best for the patient. This case demonstrates very well that where orthodontics provided the best tooth position prior to implant placement and restorations.
