Interdisciplinary dentistry can help the clinician to provide less invasive treatments with better outcomes. This case report shows the treatment of a skeletal class III with functional component and anterior cross-bite in an adult patient with dentoalveolar compensation and six bonded porcelain restorations in the anterior segment. The diagnosis of the class III situation, differentiation between maximal intercuspation situation and centric occlusion situation, the use of an orthodontic set-up to set the plan, and finalizing the treatment with bonded porcelain restorations is discussed. Minimizing treatments to maximize outcomes is our duty as healthcare professionals.
