Abstract : One among the most common malocclusions encountered during our clinical practice i s m i d l i n e d i a s t e m a and it is associated with high chance of relapse as well. This article illustrates a case report in which clinical utilization of M-spring resulted in a faster and efficient midline diastema closure in 6 weeks duration.

Keywords : Midline Diastema, M Spring.
