Abstract
A review of the literature provided surprisingly little historical information of
value on retainers. This dearth of material in the literature indicates that, although
many innovations have been made by persons in the profession, few busy practitioners
find time, encouragement, or facilities to publish them. As a result, the present
article reports in detail the findings of earlier investigators and describes the
technique used in the production of invisible retainers. When an orthodontist or other
specialist perfects this method, he will find it a rewarding, time-saving and valuable
addition to his treatment procedures.
