Regular Hawley
The Regular Hawley is the most widely-used type of retainer. On either a plaster or stone model, a thin layer of acrylic is applied evenly and precisely. This layer contours the lingual surface of teeth. A labial wire is in contact with the buccal surface of incisors and cuspids. Then, adjustments may be made with the compensation loops that are placed on either side of the maxillary.
Material required for manufacturing
– Upper stone model
– Lower stone model
– Wax bite in c.o.
Available colors
Patients may choose the colour of their appliances. Regular acrylic is then replaced with coloured acrylic. One to three colours may also be chosen per appliance. These options actually encourage children to cooperate closely during orthodontic treatment
