Abstract
An orthodontic retainer includes a first material forming a contact surface for the buccal, occlusal, labial, and lingual surfaces of the maxillary teeth. The first material has a number of holes formed bi-laterally in the lingual surface. The orthodontic retainer includes a second material forming a contact surface for the palatal portion of the upper arch dentition. The second material is formed with several bulges that mate with corresponding holes within the first material. A method of forming the orthodontic retainer includes casting an impression, vacuum forming a first material over the cast of the teeth, trimming the first material in proximity to the gingival contours, drilling a number of holes in a lingual surface of the first material, applying a second material to the palatal portion of the cast and the holes of the first material, and curing the second material to the first material.
