Detailed description

This study includes patients who have had previous orthodontic treatments (without tooth extraction) and who have good alignment of their lower incisors. Investigator will compare two types of lingual retainers made with CAD-CAM by comparing them with the traditional lingual retainers according to the following groups: 1. Patients will be apply to them a lingual retainer made of fibers manufactured using CAD-CAM technology 2. Patients will be apply to them a lingual retainer made of metal made using CAD-CAM technology 3. Patients will be apply to them a conventional lingual retainer made of braided stainless steel wire (control group)

Interventions

DEVICELingual retainer from Fiber

lingual retainer manufactured from fiber using CAD-CAM technique applied to the lingual surfaces of the mandibular incisors and evaluated every month over a period of 6 months.

DEVICELingual retainer from metal

lingual retainer manufactured from metal using CAD-CAM technique applied to the lingual surfaces of the mandibular incisors and evaluated every month over a period of 6 months.

DEVICETraditional retianer from braided

lingual retainer manufactured using traditional technique from stainless steel applied to the lingual surfaces of the mandibular incisors and evaluated every month over a period of 6 months.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Bacterial plaque indicator6 monthsthe amount of plaque on the gingival edge on the tooth surface is determined by using a probe. This indicator does not need to color the plaque. This indicator is taken for all teeth monthly over a period of 6 months
Patient Acceptance Assessment:6 monthsPatient acceptance will be evaluated according to a set of questions presented in a questionnaire sheet for each patient in the hospital Each period of the review where patient acceptance was recorded in three aspects: 1. Speech: The extent of the effect of the affixed fixative on the patient's comfort with speech will be recorded in each follow-up period in the event that there is no difficulty in speaking or there is difficulty in speaking. Is there a proven effect on speech? )Yes No( 2. Oral Care Procedures: The patient's ability to perform oral care procedures will be recorded In my case, the ease and difficulty of doing oral care procedures. How easy is it for you to perform oral care procedures? (easy / hard)
