Abstrakt: Missing maxillary lateral incisors can be treated either with orthodontic space closure or preservation of the edentulous space for tooth replacement. Orthodontic space closure coupled with non-invasive post-orthodontic cosmetic dentistry is a compelling option compatible with optimal function, favourable aesthetics, and periodontal health in the long-term. We present the rationale for space closure and detail contemporary clinical strategies underpinning interdisciplinary treatment planning and excellence in finishing.
