Orthodontic tooth retention system

A dental module for use on teeth as part of an orthodontic retainer system, comprising:

• a tooth engaging surface;
• a bottom surface having opposing ends, wherein a distance between said opposing ends of said bottom surface defines a width of said dental module, said bottom surface forming a first angle with said tooth engaging surface;
• a lingual surface forming a second angle with at least one of said tooth engaging surface and said bottom surface, wherein said second angle is less then ninety degrees;
• and
• at least one chamfered edge defined between at least one of said tooth engaging surface, said bottom surface, and said lingual surface and another of said tooth engaging surface, said bottom surface, and said lingual surface.

A method of applying a dental module to a tooth having a lingual side, comprising the steps of:

• providing a substantially L-shaped delivery member;
• positioning at least one dental module on the delivery member;
• inserting the delivery member between a pair of adjacent teeth;
• advancing the delivery member in an anterior direction to remove the delivery member from between the pair of adjacent teeth.
