  • Title: Multistranded wire bonded retainers: from start to success.
    Author: Zachrisson BU.
    Journal: Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop; 2015 Nov; 148(5):724-7. PubMed ID: 26522030.
    Abstract:
    Fixed or bonded retainers are routinely placed at the end of orthodontic treatment. Wires of various types and sizes are available, and they can be bonded labially or lingually. This article presents the background for and evolution of multistranded fixed retainers and gives clinical recommendations for their use. Based on my over 20 years' experience, I recommend a 5-stranded 0.0215-in-diameter wire.
