Multidisciplinary management of a Class I edge-to-edge malocclusion: A case report

The most prevalent malocclusion is the Angle Class I malocclusion. Its edge-to-edge type has the lowest incidence which is characterized as a malocclusion in which the overjet and the overbite are both zero in a vertical and sagittal orientation. This malocclusion is corrected through orthodontic braces for orthognathic surgery. In this case report, a 26-year-old male patient asked to correct his Class I (edge to edge) Malocclusion and unaesthetic tooth forms and sizes of his upper and lower anterior teeth. The patient wanted to have a “natural-looking” makeover of the latter. The patient had undergone orthodontic treatment before to correct the malocclusion and was removed due to an unmet treatment goal. Re-treatment of orthodontic braces was proposed before any esthetic treatment procedure but due to the patient's foreign residency and limited time, the proposed treatment is not feasible. Considering the patient’s situation, the dentist presented an alternative treatment through Indirect Veneers using Emax, gum lift, and enameloplasty. The incorporation of these combined treatments was able to finally correct the patient's malocclusion and met the esthetic demand for a natural-looking makeover veneer.
