Canine Substitution

About This Case

Canine substitution forces an acceptable compromise — a lateral incisor will never have the convexity or contour of a true canine. This case explores how to manage that mismatch when spacing isn't ideal, with strategies for shaping, characterization, and material selection. Special guest Dr. Adamo Notarantonio joins for an in-depth discussion of where the technique succeeds and where it falls short.
