title: Challenges in Treating Edge-to-Edge Incisal Position for Esthetics.
abstract: Taking into consideration initial risk assessment, the clinician establishes criteria that are important for risk reduction. All too often, we see perfectly executed, and sometimes elaborate treatments that, in their essence, did not reduce but merely replaced one risk for the another. Careful analysis of the risks and benefits of the potential treatment can help the clinician avoid this. This case presents an adult opting for an acceptable alternative to costly, comprehensive, and time-consuming treatment by using a well-planned orthodontic and restorative plan, leading to satisfactory, stable results.
