Could you describe the appropriate
retention method after open bite correction?
Abu-Hussein Muhamad
A retention appliance was designed to be assisted by the
mini screw implants used to intrude upper molars. After we had achieved molar intrusion with these implants
(TADs), we made sure that they were well maintained
for further use. Then, we fabricated the so-called Active Retainer, which is a clear retention appliance with buttons
attached to the buccal side of the maxillary molar
positions to provide sites where they can hook to the
mini screw implants by using elastics ). This appliance
is expected to effectively prevent the eruption
of intruded maxillary molars.
