Maintaining your newly aligned teeth after orthodontic treatment is essential for preserving your beautiful smile. At Dream Smile of Norcross, we offer the Hawley Retainer, a trusted and time-tested option that has helped countless patients keep their teeth in perfect alignment.
What Is a Hawley Retainer?
The Hawley Retainer is a traditional, removable orthodontic device made of a combination of metal wires and durable acrylic. The metal wires are designed to wrap around your teeth, holding them in their new position, while the acrylic portion can be customized to fit the roof of your mouth or along the inside of your lower teeth.
Benefits of Hawley Retainers
Choosing a Hawley Retainer at Dream Smile of Norcross offers several advantages:
- Durability: Hawley Retainers are known for their robustness, capable of withstanding daily wear and tear while maintaining their effectiveness over time.
- Adjustability: The metal wires of a Hawley Retainer can be adjusted by your orthodontist, allowing for minor corrections and ensuring a precise fit as your teeth settle into their new positions.
- Ease of Use: As a removable retainer, the Hawley Retainer offers convenience, allowing you to easily take it out when eating or cleaning your teeth.
- Custom Fit: The acrylic portion of the retainer is custom-molded to fit comfortably in your mouth, ensuring a secure fit that promotes long-term wear.
How to Care for Your Hawley Retainer
Proper care of your Hawley Retainer is crucial to maintaining its effectiveness and longevity:
- Daily Cleaning: Clean your retainer daily using a soft toothbrush and mild soap or a retainer cleaner to remove plaque and prevent bacteria buildup.
- Safe Storage: Always store your Hawley Retainer in its protective case when not in use to prevent damage or loss.
- Avoid Heat Exposure: Keep your retainer away from hot water and direct sunlight, as excessive heat can warp the acrylic and metal components.
