Wire Syndrome. In orthodontic therapy, the rotational moment of a twistflex retainer period
Abstract
The study's goal is to report a clinical case of orthodontic treatment retention complicated by wire syndrome in a patient with a multistranded bonded wire. The issues of a flexible multistranded nonremovable wire bonded to the front teeth of the maxillary arch in a 32-year-old woman 4 years after the end of orthodontic treatment are discussed in this article. The torque of a multistrand bonded wire fixed retainer was disclosed, necessitating more orthodontic treatment. The presented clinical case verifies scientific literature statistics showing the number of patients having repeated orthodontic treatment is growing, owing in part to retention period problems.
