Article Synopsis
- Retention after orthodontic treatment is crucial to prevent tooth movement, realign affected tissues, and stabilize teeth in new positions to minimize relapse risks.
- The study evaluated the distortion of Essix retainers over time by analyzing scans from 26 patients at set intervals (one, three, and six months) using a digital scanner and Medit software.
- Results showed that distortion in the retainers increased over time, particularly in the posterior region, with distortion ranging from 0.133 mm to 0.304 mm over six months, while anterior distortion remained lower (0.057 mm to 0.068 mm).
