Orthodontic Management of a Maxillary Midline Diastema using Beggs Mechanics Case Report

Maxillary midline diastema with high frenum attachment has negative impact on aesthetics and function. The purpose of this article is to describe a case report of young female with a large midline diastema and torsi version of central incisors treated with orthodontic approach. CASE DESCRIPTION After orthodontic diagnosis, treatment undertaken was the surgical removal of the high frenum attachment in maxillary arch. Then, orthodontic Beggs brackets were bonded on maxillary anterior region and the diastema closed by using E chain along with upright springs. After complete diastema closure orthodontic treatment was discontinued. Then, permanent retainer was bonded on palatal aspect of maxillary anterior region. This technique of using round wire to close diastema using up righting springs has less inventory and reduces relapse.Clinical Relevance Managing midline diastema with this simplified Beggs mechanotherapy is an effective tool to assure good results.
