For patients with maxillary anterior tooth loss or diastemas, dentists should divide the left and right space equally and keep the MCI contact area aligned with the midline.<\/jats:p><\/jats:list-item>\n<jats:list-item><jats:p>Dentists should take face size and gender into consideration when making treatment plans for the MCI.
