Removable retainers in Orthodontics
Keywords:
retainers, orthodontics, therapyAbstract
One of the most challenging phase for an orthodontist is to retain the corrections achieved during the course of orthodontic treatment. Retainers are passive orthodontic appliances that help in maintaining and stabilizing the position of teeth long enough to permit reorganization of supporting structures after the active phase of orthodontic therapy. This article provides a comprehensive review about the various types of orthodontic retainers available today.
