Midline diastemas are one of the most prevalent dental malocclusions. In young adults this may create aesthetics problems, especially in individuals marked by a gap between central incisors higher than 4 mm. This case report demonstrates the treatment of a patient with Angle's Class I malocclusion and midline diastema with the M-spring appliance resulting in complete closure within four months. The case included a frenectomy for correction of the abnormal labial frenal attachment followed by an M-spring orthodontic appliance. This "M" shaped device, with specific activation points, provides control over tooth movement and consequently achieves this site closure in a short duration of time by tipping the crowns of central incisors in a mesial direction. This procedure aimed to resolve aesthetic issues while also enhancing and ensuring functional occlusion.
中线牙缝是最常见的牙颌面畸形之一。在年轻成年人中，这可能会产生美学问题，尤其是在中切牙之间间隙大于4毫米的个体中。本病例报告展示了一名安氏I类错颌畸形伴中线牙缝患者使用M型弹簧矫治器进行治疗，在四个月内实现了完全关闭。该病例包括为矫正异常的唇系带附着而进行的系带切除术，随后使用M型弹簧正畸矫治器。这种具有特定激活点的“M”形装置可控制牙齿移动，从而通过向近中方向倾斜中切牙的牙冠在短时间内实现该部位的关闭。此程序旨在解决美学问题，同时增强并确保功能性咬合。
