Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The outcome of this study will be to record frequency of failures (breakage or debonding of the mandibular fixed retainer) in the mandibular lingual fixed retainer post placement with and without rubber dam.Timepoint: The patients will be followed-up at approximately at an interval of 0,3, 6 months after bonding

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the duration in placement of mandibular fixed orthodontic retainer in the group comprising the usage of rubber dam and in the group comprising without the usage of rubber dam isolation To determine the changes in tooth position post placement of mandibular fixed orthodontic retainer in both the groups (with and without the usage of rubber dam) via Little’s Irregularity IndexTimepoint: 3 months and 6 months
