Twelve-year follow-up of mandibular incisor stability: Comparison between two bonded lingual orthodontic retainers.
CONCLUSIONS: Both a canine-to-canine retainer bonded only to the canines and a twistflex retainer 3-3 bonded to each tooth can be recommended. However, neither of the retention types prevented long-term changes of mandibular incisor irregularity or available space for the mandibular incisors after removal of the retainers.
