Abstract
The stability of treatment outcome in orthodontics remains a fundamental issue of concern and debate. Usually a retention phase is required after active Orthodontic tooth movement to maintain the ideal aesthetic and functional relation and prevent the teeth to return to their former position. In the importance of retention in orthodontic treatment, this article makes an attempt to refresh our knowledge on retainers by exploring the literature.
