ORTHOBITES Fig. 19 Fig. 22 Fig. 23 Fig. 20 Fig. 24 Fig. 25 In May, posterior bands and brackets were removed, and impressions were taken for retainers (Fig. 20). In June, final records were taken and retain-ers delivered (Figs. 21-25). The total length of treat-ment was four years. I felt I began the case at a proper time, but Mother Nature fooled me in the eruption timing of the posterior teeth. The patient had excel-lent hygiene and was able to be seen every two months much of the time. So I was able to decrease the amount of chairtime with the patient. I was pleased with the final results.
