Aim: The presence of the proximal contact is essential to maintain the periodontal structures health, besides preventing diseases and wastes, thus preserving an ideal occlusion. The aim of this article is to present a clinical case report with restoration of the proximal contact in a conservative way, through orthodontics and restorative dentistry, in teeth with total crowns. Case Report: A 69-year-old female patient attended the university dental clinic with complaint of food impaction and discomfort in the upper right posterior region of the arcade. It was clinically observed absence of the point of contact between the teeth 15, 16 and 17 and opted for the multidisciplinary treatment involving orthodontics and restorative dentistry. For this, brackets were used in the second premolar and first maxillary right molar (teeth 15 and 16, respectively), and orthodontic buttons on the palatal surfaces of the same, and on the second upper molar (tooth 17), joined by the current elastic medium size. When the proximal contact was obtained, the first right premolar restoration was performed with a composite resin. Final considerations: The use of current elastics and orthodontic buttons were satisfactory for obtaining proximal contact between these teeth.
