Key Clinical Message This case report outlines a conservative treatment approach utilized in the management of a patient with a transverse left‐sided mandibular asymmetry, in an attempt to obtain a functional and esthetic occlusion using removable intraoral prostheses. A positive final result was achieved by maintaining close communication with the on‐site dental technician.
