Beggs Retainer

A Begg Retainer is similar to a Circumfential Retainer with the labial bow being contouredonly in premolars and molars and extending distal to the molars. The labial bow has adjustable loops at the canines and stability hooks can be placed at the canines also.

Indication : most preferable in all 4 or 5 extraction cases.

Advantage : Single wire and minimum occlusal interference and no cross over wire in canine or premolar region which avoids reopening of extraction space and paves way for final settlement of occlusion

DURATION REQUIRED FROM LAB : 2 days

REQUIREMENT FOR LAB : Upper and lower( type 3) dental stone models without voidspouredfrom good alginate impression.
