  • Title: Relapse of a maxillary median diastema: closure and permanent retention.
    Author: Mattos CT, da Silva DL, Ruellas AC.
    Journal: Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop; 2012 Jan; 141(1):e23-7. PubMed ID: 22196198.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this article was to describe the closure of a maxillary median diastema of a 26-year-old woman that had been corrected before during orthodontic treatment but reopened after dental trauma in a car accident. A clear esthetic device made from a tray like those used for home bleaching was used, providing a comfortable, nearly undetectable, and efficient solution. A permanent fixed retainer was bonded again to the maxillary central incisors to prevent relapse.
