Clinical experience with direct-bonded orthodontic retainers.

B U Zachrisson

    American Journal of Orthodontics
    |April 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    Direct-bonded mandibular canine-to-canine retainers offer an invisible, fixed solution with excellent patient acceptance and a low failure rate. This approach shows promise for various orthodontic retention needs.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthodontics
    • Dental Materials Science

    Background:

    • Fixed lingual retainers are crucial for maintaining orthodontic treatment outcomes.
    • Traditional soldered retainers can be visible and may present aesthetic concerns for patients.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the clinical efficacy and patient acceptance of direct-bonded mandibular canine-to-canine retainers.
    • To assess the failure rate and long-term stability of these invisible retainers.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical evaluation of forty-three direct-bonded mandibular canine-to-canine retainers.
    • Minimum observation period of 1 year, with a range of 1 to 2.5 years.
    • Assessment of retainer stability, patient feedback, and failure modes.

    Main Results:

    • The direct-bonded retainers demonstrated invisibility and comparable advantages to fixed soldered retainers.
    • Patient acceptance was excellent, with a low failure rate regarding loose retainers.
    • The technique showed potential for addressing diverse orthodontic retention challenges.

    Conclusions:

    • Direct-bonded canine-to-canine retainers provide an effective, aesthetic, and well-accepted alternative for orthodontic retention.
    • The direct bonding technique offers promising new possibilities for managing various retention issues in orthodontics.
