This study introduces an indirect bonding method for multistrand retainers using a silicone splint and light-cured adhesive. The technique allows laboratory fabrication, simplifying flexible wire placement in the mouth.

Area of Science:

Dental materials science
Orthodontic technology

Background:

Indirect bonding offers advantages over direct bonding for orthodontic appliances.
Accurate placement of multistrand retainers can be challenging with traditional methods.

Purpose of the Study:

To present an indirect method for bonding multistrand retainers.
To evaluate the efficacy of a silicone locating splint and visible light curing adhesive.

Main Methods:

A silicone locating splint was fabricated to guide retainer placement.
Multistrand retainers were bonded indirectly in a laboratory setting.
Visible light curing adhesive was utilized for the bonding procedure.

Main Results:

The described method allows for precise laboratory construction of the retainer.
