Background: To evaluate the closure of midline diastema using the Neodymium-Iron-Boron magnets and to compare the treatment duration of midline diastemas with the use of magnets compared to regular orthodontic treatment.
Materials and Methods: Thirty patients with age group 12 to 30 years with the midline diastema ranging from 0.5 to
3mm were selected. These patients were divided into two groups. Diastema closure in one group was accomplished
by conventional method, in other group was done with Ne

B magnets. These magnets were fitted to the labial
surfaces of the maxillary central incisors such a way that the opposite poles of the magnets face each other. At each
appointment, study models and radiographs were taken for study subjects and the midline diastema was measured
using digital vernier calipers on the study models obtained. Descriptive statistics carried out using
Paired t-test
.
Results: Subjects treated with Ne

B magnets showed a significant difference compared to fixed orthodontic
appliance subjects with respect to time of closure, rate of space closure and incisal inclination. Significant difference between 2 groups with reduction of 64.6 days in time to diastema closure in subjects treated with Ne
