Penta-one retainer
Ortho-FlexTech retainer
Memotain retainer
Penta-one retainer is one wire that is been in use for many years. Penta-one retainer is to be bonded on the lower anterior 6 teeth (canine-to-canine)- Half of the retainers are going to be bonded with sandblasted enamel and half without.
Ortho-Flextech chain wire is relatively new in the market and needs to be evaluated. Ortho-Flextech retainer is to be bonded on the lower anterior 6 teeth (canine-to-canine)- Half of the retianers are going to be bonded with sandblasted enamel and half without.
Memotain wire is relatively new in the market. It requires digital scanning and the technique is said to be very exact. Memotain retainer is to be bonded on the lower anterior 6 teeth (canine-to-canine)- Half of the retianers are going to be bonded with sandblasted enamel and half without.
