Area of Science:

  • Orthodontics and Dental Biomaterials

Background:

  • Orthodontic treatment aims for stable, long-term results, necessitating effective retention strategies.
  • Patient-specific factors and treatment outcomes influence the choice of retention protocol.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review fundamental aspects of orthodontic retention for practitioners.
  • To guide the selection of optimal appliance type, design, and regimen based on current evidence.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature search on orthodontic retention.
  • Analysis of factors influencing retention success and patient experience.

Main Results:

  • Retention protocols must be individualized due to diverse patient presentations and treatment changes.
  • Key considerations include stability, periodontal health, cost, patient satisfaction, retainer longevity, and retention duration.

Conclusions:

  • A one-size-fits-all approach to orthodontic retention is not feasible.
  • Practitioners must utilize evidence-based strategies to customize retention plans for optimal patient outcomes.
