You have provided no details as to your iPad model - or its age. This information might inform the viability of seeking repair.


Regardless, this problem cannot be fixed at home. There are multiple potential causes, one of which being swelling of the Li-ion battery causing the screen to be displaced from the iPad chassis.


The root cause needs to be identified; if battery related, there may be a safety issue.


You would be best advised to take your iPad along to either the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store - or an Apple Authorised Service Provider - where the technicians can ascertain the cause and offer appropriate advice.
