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.

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