Abstract

Retention is the final phase of orthodontic treatment. It is defined as the ‘stabilization of teeth in optimal esthetics and functional occlusion. A retention phase is considered crucial for the stability of treatment outcomes. The novel technique of utilizing a Non bonded fixed retainer (NFR) proved superior to the traditional bonded retainer in preventing relapse during the critical period spanning two to nine months after orthodontic therapy. The method as described in this article is simple to execute and economical. It makes effective plaque control in the vicinity of the retainer significantly easier. Moreover, this technique is recommended in patients with compromised periodontium. Nevertheless, it is essential for maintaining periodontal health and ensuring a successful outcome to treatment. However, studies on long term stability following lengthy periods of retention are needed. These are likely to substantiate the efficacy and durability of this technique.
