Introduction: A thirty one years old male patient attended our private dental clinic complaining of crowding in the
mandibular six anterior teeth. The patient refused any kind of orthodontics treatment. Also he refused any kind of
treatment includes teeth preparation. After extra and intra-oral examination, a diagnostic cast was fabricated to
analyze the patient’s smile line. Despite the fact that most of the corrected cases for orthodontics measures carried by
indirect ceramic veneers, a direct veneering layering technique has been considered as the treatment option for this
case .So the aim of this study is to introduce an alternative method to orthodontic approach for the management of
crowded mandibular anterior teeth.
Materials and Methods: Empress direct material® was selected for this case to carry out direct veneering layering
technique. It is a product of Ivoclar Vivadent Company. A wax up pattern was made on a diagnostic cast to analyze the
smile line and to estimate the level of the mandibular arch to get the best final aesthetic result. All the six anterior
teeth were etched with 37% phosphoric acid and a fifth generation bonding of ivoclar was used (Excite F)..)®
Results: A cosmetically acceptable aesthetic smile line has been achieved and the de-arrangement of the crowding
was corrected with an acceptable level. The patient was satisfied with the results.
Conclusion: For some cases, direct composite veneer layering is suitable, hassle free and cost effective alternative to
orthodontic treatment or traditional porcelain veneers, with reasonable aesthetic results.
