All retainers were worn part-time (8-12 h/day). Digital intraoral scans were obtained at baseline (T0) and six months (T2) using Trios 3, and post-treatment stability was assessed digitally using Little's Irregularity Index, intercanine width, intermolar width, arch length, overjet, and overbite. OHRQoL was evaluated at both time points using the OHIP-14(M) questionnaire. Non-parametric tests were applied following the Shapiro-Wilk assessment, and analyses were conducted using an intention-to-treat approach.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>One dropout in the 3DPR group at T2. At T2, no significant between-group differences were found in Little's Irregularity Index, intercanine width, intermolar width, arch length, or overjet (p > 0.05). Overbite values were statistically higher in the TFR group at T2 (p < 0.05); however, the difference was not clinically significant. Changes in post-treatment stability from T0 to T2 (ΔT2-T0) did not differ significantly between groups (p > 0.05). Total OHIP-14(M) scores improved significantly from T0 to T2 in both groups (TFR p = 0.016; 3DPR p = 0.013), with no significant between-group differences at either time point (p > 0.05). A small but significant difference was observed in the psychological disability domain at T2, with slightly higher scores in the 3DPR group (p = 0.020).
