When splinting anteriors together, each tooth must be individually bonded to maintain them in their corrected position. This is hard to accomplish without making it more difficult for patients to maintain their hygiene. Typically patients who have lingual bonded retainers have to use floss threaders to clean interproximally. The lingual bonded retainer shown here is designed to allow the patient to floss normally making it much easier for them to maintain a healthy oral condition. Using Australian wire, loops are placed between all the teeth except in the lower incisor region where the interproximal distances are too close. These loops avoid the interproximal areas allowing the patient to floss. A floss threader is recommended for use between the lower incisors.
