Abstract

Improper method employed to bond permanent lingual retainer results in clinical problems. A simple, convenient and cost-effective method is being suggested to bond permanent lingual retainer. This method involves the use of stainless steel archwire. Construction involves making a 'v'-shaped bend on either ends of the archwire. The tag arms on this archwire pass on the lingual aspect and hold the retainer wire passively, thus, allowing easy and effective retainer wire stabilization.
