Exclusion criteria: - Syndromes/cleft lip jaw palate/genetic diseases - any general medical health problems that may affect gum health, such as antibiotic shielding for bacteremia prophylaxis, blood thinners, diabetes mellitus, epilepsy or physical or mental disability - Patients only received early orthodontic treatment - Deep untreated caries (must be treated before participation) - Cleft palate or severe facial deformities - Extremely poor oral hygiene - Adhesively bonded retainer in the upper jaw already in situ - multiple non-attachment of permanent teeth
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Biocompatibility = tissue compatibility. This describes the ability of a material to remain in the patient's body with an appropriate immune response. In dentistry, this includes: - inflammatory changes (e.g. gingivitis or stomatitis) - allergic reactions (especially type I or type IV) - toxic-irritative contact reactions - lichenoid reactions | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Retention behavior Little Irregularity Index (LII): Sum of the displacement of the five anatomical contact points in the vestibulooral direction Intercanine distance (ICD): Distance between the cusp tips of the right and left canine teeth Intermolar distance (IMD) : Distance between the mesiobuccal cusp tips of the right and left first permanent molars Upper arch length (AL): The sum of the right and left distances from the mesiobuccal cusp tips of the first permanent molars to the contact point of the central incisors Overjet (OJ): The greatest horizontal distance between the maxillary and mandibular incisors. Overbite (OB): The greatest vertical distance from incisal edge to incisal edge of the anterior teeth. | — |
