Abstract :
In cases where malocclusion is associated with intrinsic discoloration and/or discrepancies in tooth size and shape, such as pegshaped laterals, orthodontics alone may not improve the aesthetics. In these situations, veneers may be considered as an adjunct
to orthodontic treatment to improve the overall aesthetics. The aim of this study is to report a clinical case where an uneven
occlusal plane was corrected, and the positioning of gingival zeniths, color, shape, and size of the dental elements involved were
improved by means of gingivectomy and rehabilitation with 10 ceramic laminate veneers. It was possible to conclude that
multidisciplinary treatment, when properly planned and indicated, respecting the limits and established techniques of
periodontics, prosthesis, and dentistry, makes small occlusal leveling predictable and possible through these tools.
