The multidisciplinary treatment of a case of bilateral dental fusion of the upper central incisors with maxillary constriction, crowding, and palatal inversion of one of the lateral incisors is reported. The rarity with which this anomaly appears, along with its complex characteristics, often make it extremely difficult to treat. It requires the involvement of different specialists to find the most suitable treatment for each individual patient.
