Orthodontic retention: A systematic review

Abstract

There is currently insufficient evidence on which to base the clinical practice of orthodontic retention.

Orthodontic management of a case report crowded class iii malocclusion on a class iii skeletal base: a case report.

“…However, this was expected to improve with occlusal settling during the retention period. There was some evidence to show that occlusal settling with Hawley retainers was better than clear overlay retainers after 3 months of full time wear (26), although the study have been criticised to be weak and unrealiable (27). The lower incisors had further retroclined beyond the normal limits to compensate for the underlying skeletal discrepancy.…”

“…El contacto y la presión de los tejidos blandos puede ser otro factor determinante para la estabilidad. 1,[5][6][7] La habilidad de lograr estabilidad a largo plazo y el entendimiento subyacente de los factores que afectan la estabilidad, son una indicación para la necesidad de retención de los resultados obtenidos.…”

“…Para prevenir esta recidiva se requiere el uso de cualquier tipo de retención. 6,7,10,11 En la actualidad se utilizan muchos dispositivos de retención para mantener la forma del arco y evitar la recidiva.…”

“…1,2,4,5,[7][8][9] In the absence of a retention phase, teeth tend to return to their initial position. To prevent recurrence, it is necessary to perform some form of retention.…”

“…6,7,10,11 Many retention devices are currently used to keep the shape of the arch and to prevent recurrence. 1,2,4,7,9,10,[12][13][14] Designed in 1919, the Hawley plate is the most popular removable retainer. 15 In 1993, Sheridan et al introduced the Essix plates as a modern, aesthetic, comfortable, and inexpensive alternative to traditional retainers.…”
