Abstract
In adults, the gap between the maxillary central incisors is frequently regarded as an unaesthetic or malocclusion issue. Active treatment is available for patients who feel that a diastema is unacceptable. Not all diastemas, however, can be handled in the same way or at the same time. This article describes the quick, easy, and hygienic device known as aligners, which was used to address a spacing case. For individuals in need of orthodontic treatment, aligners provide a novel solution. Thus, their worries regarding aesthetics, metal allergies, and hygiene are all addressed. Additionally, the duration of therapy is much less as compared to fixed orthodontic appliance, here the management of midline diastema in adult patients with aligners within 12 months. Clear aligner treatment modality is specially helpful for those adult patients who are in public communication profession. The traditional metallic braces which used to impose embarrassment, low self-confidence level during speech delivery in this group of people, can be eradicated by this newer invention – clear aligner. The aesthetic acceptability of this aligner is so demanding that the people who were previously reluctant to have orthodontic treatment, are availing this treatment modality. In this article three adult patients from three different professions (i.e. medical specialty, stage performer and hospitality management) treated with aligner who were previously reluctant to get traditional orthodontic treatment due to their professional need.
