Survival analysis of orthodontic retainers [PDF]
European Journal of Orthodontics, 2018 Retainers play a critical role in the long-term success of orthodontic treatment. The aims of this study were to evaluate the survival time of different retainers and to investigate the potential predictors of the retainer failures.A total of 591 retainers from 309 patients (between 2003 and 2014) were included in the study, including Hawley retainers (

Finite Element Analysis of Fixed Orthodontic Retainers. [PDF]
Bioengineering (Basel)The efficacy of retainers is a pivotal concern in orthodontic care. This study examined the biomechanical behaviour of retainers, particularly the influence of retainer stiffness and tooth resilience on force transmission and stress distribution. To do this, a finite element model was created of the lower jaw from the left to the right canine with a ...
