Correction of Relapsed Midline Diastema

Abstract

Midline diastema is one of the most common malocclusion seen in orthodontics. It may reappear after orthodontic treatment if retention protocol is not followed properly. Many treatment approaches have been cited in the literature for this and we propose an effective, time-saving, and reliable method for the correction of relapsed midline diastema using vacuum-formed retainer with elastomeric elastics.
