This paper presents an orthodontic case of a large (14.5 mm) maxillary midline diastema that was related to the presence, and subsequent removal of 2 median maxillary supernumerary teeth and resulting bone loss. A combined orthodontic and maxillofacial approach involving bone grafting and fixed appliances was used to close the space. This episode of care was organized as interceptive treatment during development of the permanent dentition.

Key words: Bone graft, interceptive orthodontics, median/midline diastema, supernumerary teeth
