Abstract
This clinical report describes a combination treatment approach to an esthe tic defect that resulted from diastemata and peg-shaped lateral incisors. M inor tooth movement was achieved through the use of a removable orthodontic appliance and orthodontic rubber band, and full-coverage PFM crowns were p laced on the lateral incisors. These complementary orthodontic and restorat ive procedures successfully corrected the defect.
