Summary

Although different materials of mandibular fixed retainer were discussed in the literature, there is contradicting evidence regarding the bond failure of Titanium fixed metal retainer, whether immediate or after 12 months. Moreover, insufficient evidence is present regarding 3D metal printed fixed mandibular retainers.

Conditions

  • Bond, Pair

Interventions

OTHER

perforated 3D printed metal fixed retainer

The key of modification is digitally designing fixed metal retainer which will be custom made for each patient, and 3D metal printing of the fixed retention wire using Metal printer instead of using generic metal wire for all patients.

OTHER

conventional fixed retainer

Conventional fixed metal retainer will be used. Multi strand wire will be used
