On the side with the small incisor, bonding is used to make the tooth larger and more proportional. On the side with the missing incisor, the canine was positioned to substitute for the missing tooth then bonding was used to change the countours of the front of the tooth to make it look like the missing lateral incisor. By substituting the canine for the missing tooth, the need for an expensive bridge or implant was eliminated.
