toe spread after stress fracture on metatarsal (second toe)

I recently was diagnosed with a stress fracture on my second metatarsal.
I was in an aircast for almost 6 weeks.
The spread between my second and third toe did not correct when the bone healed.
Is there anything I can do to correct this?
It’s mainly cosmetic, but I wear open toed shoes alot, and it looks terrible.
Any suggestions?

    Unfortunately I can’t really say that taping the toes together will be guaranteed to work. In time the swelling might come down, but nothing is assured. I am sorry.
