Maintaining teeth in their corrected position after orthodontic treatment is one of the most challenging part of orthodontic treatment and hence a period of stabilization termed as retention is provided after orthodontic treatment. Retention is one of the most important phase of orthodontic treatment that attempts to keep teeth in the corrected positions after treatment with orthodontic braces. Following literature search there is no scientific evidence for the timing of retainer delivery.The present study is designed to know if post orthodontic tooth movement vary with different time of retainer delivery and since there is unusual delay after debonding as the retainer is fabricated at the laboratory. Such a study will help us to find out within which time period the retainer should be delivered
