However, we know that bonded retainers can sometimes be challenging to place, and when they go wrong, they can certainly cause problems for both patients and orthodontists. Exciting new digital technology is providing us with new ways of producing and placing bonded retainers. Don't miss out on this clinically-relevant lecture that explores the newest advances in bonded retainers, and importantly describes the best quality research evidence that investigates what works, and what doesn't.
