    Author: Kansal S, Gupta S, Singh G, Raghav P, Kannan S.
    Journal: Int J Orthod Milwaukee; 2015; 26(4):75-7. PubMed ID: 27029100.
    Abstract:
    Fixed bonded retainers are increasingly being recommended as the only way to ensure long-term stability of an orthodontic treatment result. However, frequent debonding of the fixed bonded retainer is a constant source of frustration for the orthodontist. Bond failure is most commonly attributed to the difficulty encountered in stabilizing the retainer wire in the precise position during the bonding process. This paper presents a clinical approach that makes use of Kansal Separator; a self-secured orthodontic spring separator as a simple, efficient, and dependable fixed retainer stabilizer.
