Abstract
Introduction: Retention is one of the most crucial phase of the any orthodontic treatment to maintain the desired result obtained. Therefore, the
applying of an appropriate retention method is very important both for prevention of relapse after treatment and for increasing patient satisfaction.
Aim: This research paper aims to evaluate the effectiveness of different methods of fixed retention based on the data available that outlines an
evidence-based choice of the retention procedure for different cases.
Material and method: A search in electronic databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, Science Direct, Embase, ProQuest, Ebsco, Biomed
Central, Medline, Lilacs, and Google Scholar) and a manual search with no language restrictions. The inclusion criteria were: randomized
clinical trials and meta-analysis, prospective and retrospective studies, studies in humans, clinical and radiographical studies evaluating the
periodontium, studies of different retention techniques performed during the 1995-2019 period.
Conclusion: This research paper concludes that adequate stabilization of lingual retainer wire prior to bonding can reduce chair side time in
its placement , thereby reducing the chances of contamination and bond failure. Depending on clinicians convenience and ease of adapting a
technique, any of these methods can be used to stabilize lingual retainer for effective retention of post treatment result.
