  1. Specific Clinical Situations:
  • Retention Post-Adjustment: Useful after periodic aligner adjustments or changes, helping patients adapt to new aligners by providing additional retention.
  • Special Events: Ideal for ensuring aligner stability during special events or situations where the patient requires extra assurance that their aligners will stay in place.

  • Loose Aligners: Provides a solution for patients experiencing issues with loose-fitting aligners, ensuring a more secure and comfortable fit.

  • Intermediate Retention: Can be used as an intermediate retention method between aligner changes, ensuring continuous effective tooth movement.
  • Long-Term Stability: Provides long-term stability during the later stages of treatment, when maintaining the final position of teeth is crucial.

  • Pre-Retainer Use: Useful in the phase just before transitioning to retainers, ensuring aligners stay effective until permanent retainers are placed.
  1. Compliance Monitoring:
    • Improving Patient Compliance: Enhances patient compliance by providing a more secure fit, reducing the tendency to remove aligners frequently.
