Maxillary midline diastema is commonly occurring malocclusion. Variety of treatment modalities are suggested for the management of diastema. This article presents a case report in which 14-year-old female patient was treated for the maxillary midline diastema of size 3 mm after extraction of supernumerary tooth between upper central incisors. The index of orthodontic treatment was mild (Grade 2). MBT 0.022'' brackets were bonded on the maxillary central incisors. M spring was fabricated, activated and ligated initially with round archwire followed by rectangular archwire. Successful closure of diastema was seen with total treatment duration of 4 months. This method is efficient, effective, require less inventory. This saves precious chairside time of orthodontics and reduces treatment duration as well.
