Brief Summary: The main goal is to test the differences between the retentive capacity of fixed retainer vacuum-formed retainer combination of both and recommend the most effective protocol for retention of lower incisors crowding treated by non-extraction treatment plan

The main question is In patients with lower incisors crowding treated by non-extraction treatment plans what is the difference in retentive capacity between fixed retainer vacuum formed retainer and combined bonded and vacuum retainers in maintaining corrected lower anterior segment crowding After enrolment each participant will have the orthodontic appliance debonded the adhesive remnant removed and the enamel surface polished An alginate impression will be taken to be poured into a study model which will be scanned to obtain STL files for digital models All patients will have periodontal charting and probing depths recorded for the lower anterior segment According to the randomization each patient will be assigned to a group to receive the retainer All patients will be called for follow-up after 1 week 1 and 3 months
Detailed Description: Research objective Retention is a key part of success of orthodontic treatment Unless we can maintain the teeth in position after orthodontic treatment the beneficial results of the treatment can be lost There are currently many different types designs and materials of removable and fixed retainers and it is unclear which retainers are the best and how long they should be used for There is also little knowledge about the possible adverse effects on the Periodontal health patients satisfaction and compliance are better with which type of retainers and which retainers have the greatest failure rate The dual retention protocol -combined vacuum and fixed retainers- is widely used among clinicians but without strong evidence on its effectiveness compared to the use of single retainer

Research procedure in brief

This study will be carried out on patients enrolled from the Outpatient Clinic of Orthodontics department Faculty of Dentistry Cairo University

Eligibility criteria

Inclusion criteria

Adult patients
Finished non-extraction orthodontic treatment
Full set of permanent dentition excluding third molars
Good oral hygiene
No restorations on lower anterior teeth or morphologic crown anomalies
Littles irregularity index score 0

Exclusion criteria

Systemic disease or drugs affecting periodontal health
Smokers
Poor oral health that precludes orthodontic treatment presence of caries active white spots or periodontal diseases

Interventions

Every patient will be examined for any systemic disease or dental hard or soft tissue pathology and the eligibility for previously mentioned eligibility criteria will be checked
The purpose of the study and the details of the intervention and control will be explained for the patient and they will be asked whether they are willing to
participate in the study and accordingly will sign an informed consent Post orthodontic treatment records study models digital models and intra-oral photos will be taken for every patient as part of the routine procedure for the treatment of patients in the outpatient clinic of the Orthodontic Department Cairo University And used as pre-intervention records

Clinical Procedure

After taking post-treatment records every patient will have the orthodontic appliance debonded the adhesive remnant removed and the enamel surface polished
An alginate impression will be taken to be poured into a study model
Study models will be scanned to obtain STL files for digital models
All patients will have periodontal charting and probing depth recorded for the lower anterior segment
According to the randomization each patient will be assigned to a group to receive the retainer
All patients will be called for follow-up after 1 week 1 and 3 months

Intervention group I

Vacuum-formed retainer

After patient finishes orthodontic treatment the fixed orthodontic appliance will be debonded finishing and polishing of the enamel surface will be done
An alginate impression will be taken to be poured into a working model for fabrication of the Vacuum-formed retainer 1mm Hard vacuum sheet will be used
The retainer will be finished and delivered to the patient
The patient will be instructed to wear the retainer night time only and to contact us if any damage occurred to the retainers for immediate replacement and he will be supplied with a check list to evaluate the compliance and to calculate the wearing hours
Another alginate impression will be taken for fabrication of the study model which will later be scanned to obtain the digital model at T0 and a periodontal chart will be filled to record the periodontal status at T0 before wearing of the retainer

Intervention group II

Combined Vacuum-formed and Lingual bonded retainer from canine-to-canine

After patient finishes orthodontic treatment the fixed orthodontic appliance will be debonded finishing and polishing of the enamel surface will be done
A multistrand rectangular stainless steel retainer wire will be bonded to the lingual surface of the lower anterior teeth from the canine-to-canine bonded to all six anteriors followed by an alginate impression the impression will be poured into a working model for fabrication of the Vacuum-formed retainer 1mm Hard vacuum sheet will be used
The retainer will be finished and delivered to the patient
The patient will be instructed to wear the Vacuum retainer night time only and to contact us if any damage occurred to the retainers for immediate replacement or rebonding of the detached parts of the bonded retainer and will be supplied with a check list to evaluate the compliance and to calculate the wearing hours
Another alginate impression will be taken with the bonded retainer in place for fabrication of the study model which will later be scanned to obtain the digital model at T0 and a periodontal chart will be filled to record the periodontal status at T0 at the same visit of the delivery of the bonded retainer

Control group III

Lingual bonded retainer from canine-to-canine

After patient finishes orthodontic treatment the fixed orthodontic appliance will be debonded finishing and polishing of the enamel surface will be done
A multistrand rectangular stainless steel retainer wire will be bonded to the lingual surface of the lower anterior teeth from the canine-to-canine bonded to all six anteriors
The patient will be instructed to contact us if any damage occurred to the retainers for immediate replacement or rebonding of the detached parts of the retainer
An alginate impression will be taken with the bonded retainer in place for fabrication of the study model which will later be scanned to obtain the digital model at T0 and a periodontal chart will be filled to record the periodontal status at T0 at the same visit of the delivery of the bonded retainer

All the three groups will be called for follow up after 1week T1 1month T2 and 3 months T3

At each follow up visit an alginate impression will be taken to obtain a study cast which will be later scanned to get a digital model and a periodontal chart will be filled to evaluate the periodontal condition also the integrity of the retainers will be checked together with the rate of failure or debonding of the fixed retainer which will be recorded

The compliance chart will be collected and a new one will be supplied

Outcomes Relapse Patients compliance and satisfaction Periodontal health Integrity of the retainer
