Abstract

Bonded orthodontic retainers have gained in popularity during recent years to maintain tooth positions upon completion of active tooth movement. This article aims to give an overview of the use of bonded retainers, discuss the different techniques for placement and review the different types of bonded retainers that are available.

Clinical Relevance: This article reviews a number of methods and materials used to construct bonded retainers and also provides evidence of failure rates.

Article

The aim of orthodontic retention is to maintain teeth in their new positions after active treatment has ceased. Almost all treated malocclusions require some form of retention post-treatment and relapse of orthodontic treatment may be unpredictable.1 Histological studies in dogs have shown that supracrestal fibres can take at least seven months to adapt to their new positions.2,3 Hence, the most common period of retention within the UK is 12 months,4 however, teeth can still move from their corrected positions after this period due to continued skeletal growth and soft tissue maturation. Therefore, some clinicians advocate indefinite retention to minimize relapse.1,5

A wide number of appliances have been used as retainers and these can be divided into two main subgroups:
