Esthetic Simultaneous Intrusion and Retention (E-SIR) Appliance
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research - Year 2018, Vol 12, Issue 6
Abstract
ABSTRACT Esthetics is the chief concern with which the patient approaches to an orthodontist. Orthodontists are gearing up to make the treatment esthetic in both the active and the retentive phase. Here, we present a relapsed case of 15-year-old female patient who got her fixed treatment done and was wearing Hawley’s appliance with anterior bite plane as retainer irregularly. Getting an orthodontic treatment again with fixed braces or clear aligners would be both exhausting and expensive for the patient. Clear appliances can be made with a pressure molding machine for minor tooth corrections in clinical set-up. Thus, this article is intended to introduce a novel esthetic retainer which provides both retention following orthodontic treatment and correction of extruded upper left lateral incisor as intrusion cannot be performed with conventional retainers. Compared with conventional removable orthodontic retainers, present appliance is more esthetic, comfortable and inexpensive.
