Purpose: To emphasize the esthetic result of bringing anterior teeth into alignment with orthodontic treatment, as a mean of smile makeover. Material and method: Clinical and imagistic evaluations were performed in 4 patients with chief complaints related to poor dental esthetics. An interdisciplinary approach integrating orthodontics, oral surgery and prosthetics into oral treatment planning was performed. The patients underwent orthodontic treatment. Teeth extraction in the laterally maxilla were performed for space management. Results and discussions: Initial situations and final results were clinically and imagistically compared. Considerable esthetic improvement was noticed in all cases and all patients were satisfied with the final results. Conclusions: Orthodontic therapy is the first choice in cases with crowding in the anterior maxilla and complex treatment needs. The esthetic results of orthodontic therapy are unique.
