COMPARISON BETWEEN ORTHODONTIC PERMANENT AND REMOVABLE RETAINERS

الملخص

Relapse is the term used when teeth go back to their original place after orthodontic treatment, so
the success of an orthodontic treatment depends heavily on retention. Retainers, either permanent or
removable ones, are used to avoid relapse. The purpose of this review is to compare the differences
between fixed and removable retainers, and to determine which one works more efficient.
