Abstract : Restoration of anterior teeth with compromised alignment presents both esthetic and functional challenges. This case report presents the rehabilitation of a Mesiolabial rotated maxillary lateral incisor using a layered zirconia crown, offering a conservative and highly esthetic solution. A 22-year-old female patient reported with a chief complaint of an unesthetic appearance due to a Mesiolabial rotated and Mesiolabial rotated maxillary left lateral incisor. Clinical examination revealed a significant labial tilt with mild rotation of the tooth. After careful evaluation, a minimally invasive crown preparation was performed without orthodontic correction, followed by the placement of a layered zirconia crown. The use of high-translucency zirconia ensured optimal shade matching, durability, and patient satisfaction. This case highlights the importance of material selection and precise clinical execution in achieving successful esthetic rehabilitation of malaligned anterior teeth
