Could a Spring Aligner Close the Gap in My Teeth?
Q.
Good day. I am 26 years old and have a 2 mm midline diastema. Can a spring aligner (removable appliance) be used to close it? I was going to get braces but a dentist I met at the clinic suggested the spring aligner option and I have been researching it since.
They suggested it because they didn’t understand why I wanted braces (all my other teeth are well aligned etc.). When I told them I wanted to close my gap they suggested it.
N.B. I have tried doing a bonding trial, however it made my teeth look bold and unnatural and the Inman Aligner is not done by any dentist where I’m from.

Hi, thank you for your question. It’s worth a try! It’s a simple brace, so it might work if bonding makes the teeth look too wide. Kind regards, Andrew.
