Authors' recommendations:
Treatment stability may be improved by a fixed retainer after orthodontic treatment in comparison with a removable retainer or in comparison with no retainer. Low quality of evidence (GRADE ++00). It is also uncertain whether periodontal outcomes, dental caries prevalence, or presence of calculus differ between the various types of retainer regimens. The quality of evidence is very low (GRADE +000) . Technical failures are a relatively common complications during treatment with a retainer. There are no major ethical concerns whereas cost aspects cannot be estimated.
