Effective Closure of Midline Diastema Using Clear Aligners: A Case Report
Abstract
Dr. Nasreen Nagani and Dr. Waqas Wahab
This case report highlights the successful treatment of a midline diastema using clear aligners in a 22-year-old female patient. The treatment spanned seven months, involving 18 stages of upper aligners and 20 stages of lower aligners, worn for 22 hours daily. A non-extraction approach with interproximal reduction and arch expansion was used to resolve spacing and alignment issues. The treatment achieved proper tooth alignment, closure of the diastema, and maintained periodontal health without complications. The case demonstrates the effectiveness of clear aligners for spacing correction and emphasizes the importance of patient compliance in achieving favorable outcomes
