Bolton discrepancy

- This is when the lower 6 front teeth are relatively too large for the upper 6 front teeth
- In such cases the upper teeth can be made larger with composite buildups during treatment & with crowns or veneers later
- Alternatively, the lower teeth can be made smaller with tooth reshaping
- Another option is to extract a single lower incisor to make up for the fact that the lower incisors are relatively too large
