I’ve had a few questions from Dentists who are interested in learning how to place fixed retainers, something I personally have found so fiddly! The whole process can be a little intimidating at first, so Dr. Raj Jabbal takes the fear out of it and makes it fun and easy. We also talked about different types of Fixed Retainers and the daily conundrums that we have when deciding on the recipe for retention. https://youtu.be/iH8oTU5gjag Check out this full episode on YouTube https://youtu.be/GkePbSVLVm8 Need to Read it?

Then this is the episode where it's going to happen... Jaz' Introduction: Welcome back Protruserati to this episode on fixed retainers. We're continuing with our Ortho theme. Like I really hope you enjoy and gained so much value from that IPR techniques video like we and the team. And I say we, it was a team effort to put this video together. And it's been so great to see your comments and your feedback on Instagram, on YouTube comments, so please keep them coming if you found that video useful. In this one, I'm going to make another bold promise, okay? The video that will be part of this podcast. So if you're one of my loyal listeners, I appreciate you. If you're new to the podcast listening, thanks so much for joining from wherever you are in the world. This podcast will speak to Raj Jabbal about the different ways, the different fixed retainer types available. Is there a superior one? Is it a case that Raj Jabbal, the specialist orthodontist we speak to does he always place a fixed retainer? Or is there a place for removable retainers only. So we'll talk about the sort of daily conundrums that we have when we're deciding on the recipe for retention, which is unique to every patient, let's not forget that retention should be a unique thing based on the patient, based on the initial situation. Because initial situation, the crowded state is the most stable state. So if you're watching on YouTube, great, I will have a video step by step made by cephtactics, which is just the most beautiful video you'll ever see of someone applying a fixed retainer. It really helps make it tangible. And what I'll be doing is I'll be jumping in and out of that video and just giving you my sort of little pointers here and there. Okay, why I might disagree with some parts that video and how certain parts are just so mind blowing, and so much better than the way I used to do it. But again, if you're listening, then don't worry, I'll make sure that you'll have an easy place to click on tool. So wherever you listen, that you can jump straight to a video and watch it but you'll still gain so much more from the conversation with Dr. Raj Jabbal today. [Jaz]Before he joined the main episode, let me give you the Protrusive Dental Pearl. So you know that thing where if you only had one wish, what would that wish be? We all know that one wish should always be 'The I want unlimited wishes.' So if I had to give you just one pearl right now, it would be that I want to give you access to unlimited pearls. So how I'm going to do that?
