Abstract:
This case report presents a novel digital technique for prosthetically driven orthodontic treatment. A 28-year-old patient who had undergone orthodontics as a teenager experienced a relapse and presented with esthetic concerns. The author utilized state-of-the-art software to create a virtual orthodontic-restorative treatment outcome with virtual restorations. This approach helped guide tooth movement, improve team communication, and optimize treatment outcomes while allowing for minimally invasive restorative treatment.
