This case report demonstrates the importance of systematic risk assessment and appropriate treatment planning for restorative success with a patient with Class II, Division 2 malocclusion. The overall objective was to change the functional relationship of the anterior teeth to allow predictable restoration that would decrease the risk of further attrition while satisfying the esthetic expectations of the patient. Orthodontics prior to restoration was the key to minimizing biomechanical and functional risks. The case illustrates the use of the interincisal angle measurement to provide an objective guide when evaluating and planning for proper anterior function.
