A Technique for Post-Orthodontic Retention of Maxillary Anterior Teeth in the Restored Dentition: A Case Report

Abstract - Retention is one of the most important factors in the long term success of orthodontic treatment. In the adult patient when orthodontic movement is part of an overall treatment plan involving other disciplines, the provision of permanent retention can be complicated. Several methods have been proposed in the literature to date, all with their own problems and risks. This case report presents a technique that may solve this problem for suitable patients in a way that is both non-invasive and has excellent long-term maintenance potential.
