Positioners do not retain incisor irregularities and Patients often have difficulty in wearing full time or nearly The pattern of wear of a positioner does not match the The major problems with positioners as retainer are as Special circumstances can be used to an advantage as retainers.įor routine use, however, a positioner does not make a good Positioners are excellent finishing devices and under Positioners as retainers Ī tooth positioner can also be used as a removable retainer,Įither fabricated for this purpose alone, or more commonly,Ĭontinued as a retainer after serving initially as a finishingĭevice. Wires, tubes, lingual finger springs, ball end clasps, and distalĮxtensions to second molars. In soldering, use Hydro flame or electro soldering. Over arch wire so that stress is wire to wire and not on solder. AdamsĬlasps are formed of 0.028 or 0.035” SS wire. The lingual arch is formed of 0.045” hard SS wire. Of working time and produces a smooth, inconspicuous, easilyįitted retainer that will do a positive job of controlling corrected The whole procedure requires about fifteen minutes The acrylic should be cut down on the labial to avoid being struck by the maxillary central incisors but left at the incisal edge on the lingual. When the acrylic has set, retainer is removed from the cast, trimmed, pumiced and polished. The salt and pepper method are used to apply a quick- cure acrylic covering the labial surfaces from cuspid to cuspid and the lingual surfaces from first bicuspid to first bicuspid or second bicuspid if first bicuspids have been extracted. The construction of the appliance is with the use of two 0.025” wires, which are bent and placed in the embrasure between the lower cuspid and lateral incisors and a separating medium is placed on the cast. These types of retainers can be made relatively quickly and by untrained personnel. A full arch wrap around retainer is indicated primarily when periodontal breakdown requires splinting of teeth together. In addition, a wraparound retainer, though quite aesthetic, is often less comfortable than a Hawley retainer and may not be effective in maintaining overbite correction. A full arch wrap around retainer should allow each tooth to move individually, stimulating reorganization of the periodontal ligament. The wrap around or clip-on retainer, which consists of a plastic bar along labial and lingual surfaces of teeth. A common modification of the Hawley retainer for use in extraction cases is a bow soldered to the buccal section of Adam’s clasp on the first molars, so that the action of the bow helps hold the extraction site closed. When first premolars are extracted, one function of a retainer is to keep the extraction space closed, which the standard design cannot do. The outer bow provides excellent control of the incisors even if it is not adjusted to

It incorporates clasps on molar teeth and a characteristic outer labial bow with adjustment loops, spanning from canine to canine. The most commonly used retainer designed in 1920’s as an active removable appliance.
