Abstract

The aim of this article is to describe a method for fabricating a new esthetic maxillary retainer. To fabricate this retainer it is necessary to fit a segment of orthodontic wire in the maxillary molar and premolar region, followed by plasticization of the model. In order to allow occlusal finishing the occlusal and incisal surfaces of the plate are removed. The described retainer can be a useful alternative to the orthodontist for esthetic orthodontic retention.
