Course Description
The aim of this course is to teach how to achieve the stability of the result obtained at the end of the treatment. For this purpose, environmental and genetic factors that may cause relapse after treatment are defined. Factors that may impair stability are identified and their elimination is evaluated. In addition, retention methods that will provide stability are explained. It is ensured that the most appropriate retention method is selected according to the patient's age, skeletal and dental structure, the treatment applied and the duration of the orthodontic treatment. The appointment schedule of the patient during the retention phase is determined. Complications that may occur during and at the end of treatment are also defined and methods to avoid these complications are presented.
