Treatment of Complications Associated with Lower Fixed Retainers
Volume 50 : Number 1 : Page 54 : Jan 2016
Bonded retainers are often used to maintain orthodontic treatment results, especially for an increasing number of practitioners advocating long-term or even lifelong retention. Although fixed retainers have been described as effective, safe and predictable, and compatible with periodontal health, long-term retention is not without risks. Failures of fixed retainers, as evidenced by debonding or fatigue wire fracture, are relatively common. Long-term use of fixed retainers is associated with increased calculus and plaque accumulation, with a consequent risk of gingival recession and increased probing depths.

Treatment of Labially Impacted Upper Central Incisors
Volume 49 : Number 11 : Page 701 : Nov 2015
When the parents or the general dentist notices erupted upper lateral incisors and only one erupted central incisor in an 8-to-10-year-old child, it raises the possibility of an impacted upper central incisor - a significant esthetic concern. Treatment of such a patient in the mixed dentition requires an understanding of the eruption pattern of the permanent teeth. If the single central incisor had erupted six months previously, for example, or the lateral incisors had erupted before the central incisor, it would indicate a developmental problem requiring further investigation.
