Evaluation of bond strength and load deflection rate of multi-stranded fixed retainer wires: An In-Vitro Study

Background: Fixed orthodontic retainers must be well retained on the tooth surfaces, allow physiologic movement of teeth and exert minimal forces on the teeth to be retained. Previous studies analyzed the bond strength and amount of deflection caused due to the debonding force but not the magnitude...
