Abstract: The anterior zone is critical for oral aesthetic therapy, and adjusting the shape and position of anterior teeth is an important part of systematic aesthetic therapy. In clinical diagnosis and treatment, the dentist expects to restore natural teeth shape to coordinate with facia shape; to close anterior tooth space and adjust midline position to make the bow beautiful and symmetrical; to coordinate the relationship between dental arch and gingival and buccal tissue through vertical and horizontal control to achieve a beautiful smile. Perfect aesthetic treatment of anterior teeth requires the intervention of multi-disciplines and multiple treatment methods, and cultural background and aesthetic habits of patients should be regarded to achieve the best treatment effect. Digital diagnosis and treatment technology provides a guarantee for pre-treatment aesthetic analysis and prediction and post-treatment aesthetic evaluation. Based on the latest research at home and abroad, in this paper, both the anterior teeth’s position and shape and the relationship between dentition and gingival, buccal soft tissue are considered to summarize aesthetic considerations of anterior zone in oral treatment, so as to provide reference for oral treatment planning in aesthetic zone.
