Objective: To utilise the orthodontic forced eruption technique in a single fractured anterior tooth to gain the required clinical crown height for ideal restoration.&#13;
Case Description: The article presents crown lengthening of a subgingivally fractured maxillary central incisor by means of orthodontic forced eruption for optimal restoration with the multi-disciplinary approach.&#13;
Conclusion: Although clinical crown lengthening can be done for subgingivally or gingivally fractured tooth with various methods, the orthodontic forced eruption technique is best suited in cases where optimal aesthetics is required.&#13;
