Abstract
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.

Summary
Material şi metodă: Evaluare clinică şi imagistică a 4 cazuri clinice care au solicitat reabilitarea funcţiei estetice. Decizia terapeutică a fost stabilită după un consult interdisciplinar între medicul dentist curant, ortodont, chirurg şi protetician. Pentru a răspunde solicitării pacienţilor, a fost iniţiat tratamentul ortodontic, cea mai biologică alternativă terapeutică, chiar dacă a fost necesară extracţia bilaterală a unor premolari. Rezultate: Comparând, clinic şi prin fotografii extra şi intraorale, statusul iniţial şi final al pacienţilor, am stabilit că s-a realizat o îmbunătăţire evidentă a esteticii pacienţilor, aceştia exprimându-şi satisfacţia. Concluzii: Tratamentul ortodontic reprezintă prima opţiune terapeutică, cu rezultate estetice deosebite, în cazurile de incongruenţă dento-alveolară prin lipsă de spaţiu. Cuvinte cheie: tratament ortodontic, incongruenţe dento-alveolare, estetică, zâmbet
