“…Axial inclination of the tooth can also be corrected by placing the resin tags along the long axis of the tooth. 9,10 conclusIon Single wire technique is a better way of treating anterior space when compared with all other technique and it was found to be cost-effective. It requires minimum inventory and less chairside time.…”

Spacing is a very common complication of anterior teeth which has to be corrected to bring perfect smile. Though spacing is a simple malocclusion to treat, knowledge about the type of spacing and treatment plan is required. Dental spacing can be due to various reasons which can be divided into developmental and physiologic causes. There are various treatment objectives available to treat spacing of the dentition such as orthodontic fixed appliances, direct and indirect veneers, crowns and bridges. In this case report, we have used a single wire fixed mechanics to close the space in anterior region. A 0.016 × 0.022 stainless steel wire with a loop mesial to canine on both sides was used in this case. The duration of the treatment was 8 weeks.

Maxillary midline diastema is a self-correcting anomaly which in few conditions may get retained in adolescence stage due to various aetiological factors and correction of which is usually done at permanent dentition stage. The persistence of midline diastema can be predicted in mixed dentition period and necessary management could be provided at the mixed dentition period. This case report is on a novel technique using ‘M’ spring to correct the midline diastema in mixed dentition period.
