Abstract
In Orthodontics, retention period is the most important phase of orthodontic treatment. Malocclusions requiring permanent retention for stability often need fixed lingual bonded retainers for holding the teeth in position. It has several advantages such not being visible and requires no patient cooperation during the retention phase. This article presents a simpler and innovative method of stabilizing the lingual retainer wire during bonding procedure by just holding it with prefabricated Dewdrop retainer holding clip.
