Resumen

Thermoplastic orthodontic retainers maintain teeth in their corrected positions after orthodontic treatment. Since they are prescribed to be used indefinitely, this study evaluated the stability and durability of six commercially available thermoplastic retainer materials. This study could be applied in the orthodontic clinic by guiding orthodontists to invest in a durable and stable materials.
