Key Clinical Message The Amelogenesis Imperfecta is associated with malocclusion and usually requires an interdisciplinary treatment. Due to the patient's refusal of orthodontic treatment, prosthodontics‐based treatments alternative was considered and planned. The patient was treated with zirconia‐based fixed partial dentures, which resulted in improved occlusion, better oral health, and improved esthetic appearance.
