Hawley (Wire) Orthodontic Retainers

What are Dental Orthodontic Retainers?
A dental retainer is a custom-made device to fit your teeth, it helps to keep your teeth in the same position after wearing dental braces, i.e. to maintain a previous orthodontics or dental braces treatment results or to prevent undesirable changes in the position of teeth. At ROYAL DENTAL CARE, we offer you a stunning smile at an unbelievably low cost!

What are the types of Dental Orthodontic Retainers?
There are two types of retainers, depending on your needs:

  1. Active Dental Orthodontic Retainer
    An active dental retainer is a retainer commonly used for the straightening of teeth. Your dentist might prescribe it if you have minor malalignment issues like mild gaps between your teeth.
  1. Passive Dental Orthodontic Retainer
    A passive dental retainer is given when braces are removed after your braces treatment is complete. Passive retainers hold teeth in the same position and prevent undesirable movement of teeth over time.

What is Hawley or Wire Orthodontic Retainer?
Hawley retainers are the most common teeth stabilizing devices used after wearing dental braces. They are highly durable and easily removable for oral care or eating.

What is Hawley Retainer made of?
Hawley retainers are composed of:

  1. The acrylic base which can be of any custom color.
  2. The labial bow, and
  3. Clasps to hold the appliance.
