after orthodontic treatment. The expectations for long-lasting lifetime stability of the occlusion led
orthodontists to seek the ultimate retention protocol with minimal patient compliance. Fixed retainers
have many disadvantages and risks that should be considered in advance. Different failures of fixed
retainers are described and categorized. The workflow for the retreatment of relapse caused in spite of
the fixed retainers is described with 3 case presentations: Open bite, Root movement and Bimaxillary
protrusion, all treated with clear aligner treatment (CAT). A revised retention protocol is suggested.

Case reportPáginas 113-125, Idioma: InglésRomano, Rafi / Keren, LihiClear aligner treatment is a widely used and extremely popular treatment modality. The types of attachments that should be used and their optimal size, shape and location are the subject of debate among clinicians and in the literature. Different companies have different concepts of attachments. The present authors raise the question of whether so many attachments are truly necessary in all scenarios, outlining two cases that were treated without any attachments at all and seeking to explore the factors that led to their success.
