Retention is the phase of orthodontic treatment which maintains the
teeth in their orthodontically corrected positions following the
cessation of active orthodontic tooth movement. Orthodontic
retainers resist the tendency of teeth to return to their
pre-treatment positions under the influence of periodontal,
occlusal and soft tissue forces, and continuing dentofacial growth.
Very few prospective controlled studies have evaluated the
effectiveness of retention. In addition, very little is known about
patient's perception in relation to orthodontic relapse. Various
studies have shown that fixed retention bonded only to canines have
relapse, while others have shown that even though relapse exists,
it is not significant or clinically relevant. This book summarize
about each aspect of relapse and retention.
