Summary

Orthodontic relapse remains a significant challenge. Understanding the causes of relapse and standardizing retention protocols through evidence-based research are crucial for successful long-term outcomes in orthodontics.

  • Current understanding of relapse origins is incomplete, leading to varied clinical retention strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the origins of orthodontic relapse.
  • To rationalize factors essential for planning effective orthodontic retention protocols.

Main Methods:

  • Collation of current scientific knowledge on orthodontic relapse.
  • Analysis of factors influencing retention strategies.

Main Results:

  • Incomplete understanding of relapse etiology contributes to diverse retention approaches.
