Abstract
There are few reliable options for closing relapsed lower anterior or posterior spaces other than a short phase of re-treatment. Tightening a conventional wraparound retainer is often inadequate, and the labial bow tends to slip off the anterior teeth. This brilliant Pearl incorporates cinched .018" nickel titanium wires in the labial bow to facilitate space closure. Remember to place the activation loops distal to the spaces that need closing.
