Treatment of Complications Associated with Lower Fixed Retainers
Volume 50 : Number 1 : Page 54 : Jan 2016

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.
