"This 29 year-old patient always hated her 'big front teeth'. In fact, the problem was that the laterals were proclined and rotated and this made her centrals appear large. To even out her smile and bring it to within the golden proportions, the centrals were narrowed and proclined slightly and the laterals were reduced facially. IPS Empress® restorations were placed from 14 to 24. Doing the bicuspids helped to maintain consistent esthetics into the buccal corridor."
