Esthetics and anterior tooth position: an orthodontic perspective. Part III: Mediolateral relationships.

This article has discussed the medio-lateral relationship of the maxillary anterior teeth relative to esthetics. In this dimension, common problems include asymmetric crown widths, inadequate pontic width, midline deviation, and improper angulation of the maxillary incisors. In all four of these situations, the proper solution depends on a coordinated, interdisciplinary approach involving well-planned and well-choreographed orthodontics and restorative dentistry.
