Patient compliance with orthodontic retainers in the postretention phase

American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, 2011
Retention is an important, even critical, component of orthodontic treatment. There is little research on practice protocols and patient compliance with long-term or short-term retention. This lack of information leaves our specialty with many opinions and practice protocols. The purposes of this study were to evaluate and quantify orthodontic retainer

Fiber reinforced composites orthodontic retainers.

Minerva stomatologica, 2015
Retention is the phase of orthodontic treatment that attempts to hold teeth in their corrected positions after orthodontic therapy is completed. The aim of this study was to consider fiber-reinforced composites (FRC) as a possible alternative to conventional multistranded stainless steel wire for retention through SEM analysis.Two different FRC ...

Bonded orthodontic retainers: The wire-composite interface

American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, 1997
The bonded orthodontic retainer constructed from multistrand wire and composite is an efficient esthetic retainer, which can be maintained long-term. Clinical failures of bonded orthodontic retainers, most commonly at the wire/composite interface, have been reported. This in vitro investigation aimed to evaluate selected multistrand wires and composite
