Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: The current study was conducted with the aim of evaluating the retention protocol followed by orthodontists in India.
UNASSIGNED: A cross-sectional web-based questionnaire survey was carried out to evaluate the retention protocol. To determine the sample size, a pilot study was carried out, and the final sample arrived was 250 subjects. The current study\'s inclusion criteria took into account those who had finished their BDS&MDS (Orthodontist).
UNASSIGNED: The data were statistically examined when the surveys were received and completed. The choice for fixed retainers was 67.4%. Retainer wear time preferences ranged widely, with 60% preferring 12-18 hours. The initial post-retention check appointment was planned by the majority of orthodontists (47.6%) within the next three months. Recall appointments for retention checks were only planned by the majority of orthodontists (56.3%) once every three months. Regular involvement by patients at their retention check appointments was (38%).
UNASSIGNED: The most commonly used and preferred type of retainer is fixed retainer, and dentist preferences range around 12-18 hours of wear time. Furthermore, the duration of the retainer wear preferred by most orthodontists/dentists is 10 months to 2 years.

摘要：
■进行当前研究的目的是评估印度正畸医生遵循的保留方案。
■进行了基于Web的横截面问卷调查，以评估保留方案。为了确定样本量，进行了一项试点研究，最终的样本是250名受试者。当前研究的纳入标准考虑了那些完成BDS和MDS（正畸医生）的人。
■在收到和完成调查时对数据进行统计检查。固定固定器的选择为67.4%。保持器磨损时间偏好范围广泛，60%喜欢12-18小时。大多数正畸医生（47.6％）在接下来的三个月内计划了最初的保留后检查任命。大多数正畸医生（56.3％）每三个月仅计划一次保留检查的预约。患者在保留检查预约中定期参与（38％）。
■最常用和首选的固定器类型是固定式固定器，牙医的喜好范围约为12-18小时的佩戴时间。此外，大多数正畸医生/牙医首选的固位体磨损持续时间为10个月至2年。
