Diagnosing Wire Syndrome in people with fixed retainers
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial looks at people who have a fixed orthodontic wire retainer to see if they have a condition called Wire Syndrome. You may be eligible if you have this retainer, are healthy, and have your dental records available.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are generally healthy without serious medical problems.
- You do not have any other type of retainer (like a removable one) in addition to the fixed wire.
