Maintain Your Oral Health with Upper & Lower Hawley Retainers

1. Maintain Your Oral Health with Upper & Lower Hawley Retainers The big day is here and your dental braces are coming off. Does that mean you are done with your orthodontic treatment? It is recommended to wear teeth retainers. Retainers must be worn every night for the first year in order to hold your teeth in their proper, new position while your gums, ligaments, and bones adapt. The retainer protects the results of your orthodontic care, and prevents your teeth from sliding back into their previous positions. The Hawley retainer must be worn nightly for life, so your healthy smile is maintained for as long as possible. It can be used after treatment with braces or clear aligners like Invisalign. The Hawley retainer is one of the most common types of retainers. It is a removable retainer made of a combination of metal wire and acrylic that typically surrounds the six anterior teeth and is designed to keep your teeth in place. This retainer is made from impressions of your teeth so that it fits snugly and comfortably in the roof of your mouth. The wire and acrylic framing keeps your teeth in an ideal position. The acrylic can also be personalized with a large number of colors or patterns. While clear retainers are becoming more popular, the Hawley retainer continues to be one of the most common and effective retention devices used by orthodontists and preferred by patients. A Hawley retainer is easy to use, comfortable to wear, and extremely effective at protecting the results of your smile, as long as it used as directed. Upper and Lower Hawley Retainer can easily be personalized. If you would like to have a particular color or even design, you can choose one that works for you. You can have a little fun deciding whether or you would add sparkles or some other design. Don’t eat while wearing your custom Hawley retainer. It can be difficult to eat while wearing a removable wire retainer and it can also damage the device. Food can get trapped around a Hawley retainer wire or underneath the palate, causing bad breath. When worn on the upper and lower arches simultaneously, wire retainers do not allow the teeth to meet. This means that chewing is almost impossible.

2. To improve the life of your custom Hawley wire retainer simply brush it with toothpaste and water after each use. Do not use hot water because the acrylic can warp.
