It can involve removable appliances (dentures, retainers, aligners, night guards) or fixed appliances (braces brackets\/wires, bonded retainers, space maintainers). It is commonly discussed in orthodontics and prosthodontics, and it can also occur with protective splints and other dental devices. Clinically, the term helps describe what failed, why it matters, and what type of repair or replacement may be considered."}
