Abstract

BACKGROUND :
Retainers are commonly used in orthodontic treatment to maintain teeth alignment after active therapy. Fixed lingual
retainers and removable retainers are two popular types, but they may have different effects on oral hygiene due to
differences in design and maintenance requirements. This study aims to evaluate and compare the impact of fixed
lingual retainers and removable retainers on oral hygiene practices and the associated risks of dental plaque
accumulation, gingivitis, and other oral health complications.
