Abstract
Maxillary midline diastema is a commonesthetic problem requiring treatment. Numerousetiologies have been proposed for this problem, liketooth loss, aberrant frenilum attachments and midline pathologies. There are various types of treatment approaches including essix appliance treatment for being practical and esthetic. This casereport presents a 15-year old case of a 4 mm maxillary midline diastema, representing Class I skeletaland dental patterns. Essix appliance was appliedfor the closure of midline diastema. Maxillary midline diastema was totally closed after a 2,5 monthsof treatment. The esthetic problem was resolved.Essix appliance is a practical and efficient treatment method for the treatment of maxillary midlinediastema

Abstract
Üst çene orta hat diasteması özellikle estetiksorun yaratması nedeniyle tedavi edilmesi gerekenönemli bir problemdir. Üst çene orta hat diastemasıdiş eksiklikleri, yüksek frenilum ataçmanları, ortahattaki bir patoloji gibi pek çok nedenle karşımızaçıkabilir. Tedavi yaklaşımları da çok çeşitli olabilenüst çene orta hat diastemasının etkin tedaviyaklaşımlarından biri de essix apareyi ile tedavidir.Essix apareyi kullanımının kolay, pratik olmalasıve ekonomik olması nedeniyle tercih edilir. Bu vakasunumunda maksiller orta hatta 4 mm diasteması olan S›n›f I iskeletsel özelliklere sahip 15 yaş›nda k›z hastan›n tedavi yaklaş›m› gösterilmiştir. Molar ve kanin ilişkisi s›n›f I olan hastan›n maksiller orta hat diastemas›n› kapatmak için essix apareyi kullan›lmşt›r. Yaklaş›k 2,5 ay süren tedavi sonunda üst çene orta hat diastemas›n›n tamamen kapand›ğ› görülmüş, estetik sorunun ortadan kalkt›ğ› belirlenmiştir.
