Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

It is a multicenter randomized clinical trial with two arms parallel group. The patients will be randomly divided into two groups, group one: multistranded stainless steel fixed retainer will be used while, and group two PEEK fixed retainer will be used. An intra-oral scan, intra-oral swap and periodontal indices will be taken before starting the treatment (T0), after one month (T1), after 3 months (T2), and after 6 months (T3). Patient perception concerning the fixed retainer will be taken for the patients.
