title: Simultaneous Single Tooth Intrusion and Diastema Closure: A Simplified Approach.
abstract: Re-treatment of relapse with a full bonded appliance following an extensive course of fixed mechanotherapy is psychologically unacceptable and time-consuming for the patient. This article presents a simple removable appliance, which intrudes an extruded maxillary incisor with simultaneous closure of a diastema in an effective and fast way, reducing the need for re-treatment with fixed mechanotherapy.
