In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

The placement technique of retainers in both maxillary and mandibular arches can influence the time taken for bonding the retainer in the mouth of a patient which can in turn affect the patient´s response to the procedure. The different placement techniques can influence the stability of the retainer wire on teeth and the maintenance of periodontal health during the retention period. Therefore, it is essential to know which technique is better suited for placement and its influence on periodontal health so that in the future it helps clinicians save their time during placement of retainers while benefiting the patients. To our knowledge, this will be the first study both locally and internationally that will include an assessment of periodontal health, time duration of placement and stability of fixed retainer in the maxillary arch as well. Three months period is sufficient for assessmen
