Hawley Retainer

Durability Meets Custom Comfort for a Long-Lasting Smile

A Hawley retainer is a time-tested, adjustable orthodontic appliance designed to maintain the alignment of your teeth after braces or orthodontic treatment. At Teeth Retain Design, we custom-craft each Hawley retainer using high-grade materials to ensure strength, comfort, and a perfect fit—designed specifically for your unique smile.


 What Is a Hawley Retainer?

A Hawley retainer is a removable dental appliance made from:

  • A hard acrylic base that fits against the roof of your mouth (upper) or along the bottom inside your teeth (lower)

  • Surgical-grade stainless steel wires that gently hold your teeth in position

This retainer is durable, adjustable by your dentist or orthodontist, and built to last.


 Key Features

Durability

The Hawley retainer is known for its long lifespan. Unlike clear retainers, it won’t easily warp or crack, making it ideal for long-term use.

Adjustability

Because the wire components can be adjusted, the Hawley retainer allows for minor tooth corrections over time when supervised by a dental professional.

 Custom Fit

Crafted using your at-home impression, each Hawley retainer is uniquely tailored to your dental arch for a precise, comfortable fit.

Easy Maintenance

This retainer is simple to clean with a soft toothbrush and non-abrasive cleaner—no special soaking solutions required.


Who Should Use a Hawley Retainer?

Hawley retainers are ideal for:

  • Individuals who have completed orthodontic treatment (braces or aligners)

  • Those who want a more durable option than clear retainers

  • Patients needing a slightly adjustable appliance over time

  • People looking for a removable retainer that allows for better airflow and speech


Care Instructions

To keep your Hawley retainer in top condition:

  • Rinse after each use

  • Brush daily with a toothbrush and mild soap (not toothpaste)

  • Store in a ventilated case when not in use

  • Avoid heat and harsh chemicals
