Abstract
Retention is one of the most important challenges faced by the orthodontist Patient rsquo s need to be reminded that retention phase is a continuation of orthodontic treatment and preserving treatment results successfully will depend on their compliance towards wearing and maintaining appropriate appliances The Retention plan among clinicians can vary from removable or fixed appliances but the most common regime has been an upper removable appliance and a lower fixed appliance The removable retainers are often prescribed for full time wear for the first months Patients often return to the dental office requesting new retainers due to damage or because they lost them We did a study to identify the most common ways removable retainers are lost or damaged and how patients can be educated during delivery of removable retainers to avoid these causes
