Abstract

Introduction: Dental esthetic is one of the key components of facial esthetic, with a key role in human social interactions. In this regard, the overall alignment of teeth, especially the anterior teeth, is one of the factors affecting the overall appearance of the teeth. Simple restorative treatments in cases of minor anomalies can be considered as a suitable, fast, inexpensive and harmless alternative treatment.
Case Presentation: In this article, the treatment of several patients with crowding of anterior teeth is presented.
Key words: Anterior teeth, Composite, Crowding, Esthetics.
