Summary

The goal of this split-mouth, head-to-head, randomized controlled trial is to compare the effects of a fixed straight retainer with the V- loop bonded retainer on periodontal health in patients with the requirement of continuous fixed retention for 12-24 months after orthodontic treatment.

The main question it aims to answer is whether the V- loop bonded retainer is more effective than fixed straight retainer for periodontal health management.

Each patient will receive 2 lower fixed and bonded retainers: (1) a straight wire retainer (SWR) and (2) a looped wire retainer (LWR). Patients will be asked to floss once daily with a thread flosser.

Researchers will compare the effects of two types of retainers to see if there is a statistically significant difference.

Interventions

DEVICE

V- loop Bonded Orthodontic Retainer

The V- loop bonded retainer is a unique design that not just provides tooth stability but also allows flossing with ease.

DEVICE

Straight Wire Retainer

The straight wire retainer is a fixed bonded orthodontic retainer. This involves attaching a metal wire to the back of the teeth to keep it in position.
