Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected to find changes in the periodontal indexes using the method where after the period of 6 months of use of each retainer, therefore, periodontal evaluations of the anterior lower teeth will be performed in the three areas: two proximal and lingual, through the plaque and biofilm index dental (IP), gingival bleeding index (ISS), clinical level of insertion (NCI) and probing depth (PS) and the presence of debris in the retaining wire will also be assessed. Each index will be accounted for in an ordinal qualitative manner.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected to find the level of acceptance between the two types of containment, using a questionnaire at the end of the second semester where the volunteers will answer questions about terms of comfort, ease of hygiene and acceptance
