Hawley Retainer
Hawley retainers are a bit advanced over metal retainers. With Hawley retainers, your teeth are surrounded with metal wire that keeps it in place. The advantage of a Hawley retainer is that the metal wires are adjustable and you can set them as per your needs to finish the treatment and continue moving teeth as needed.
Invisalign Retainer:
Invisalign retainers are clear, smooth and perfectly fit on patient's teeth. Being very durable, it lasts really long & being transparent, it is hard to detect Invisalign braces.
Fixed Retainer:
Fixed retainer device is used to straighten the incisors. It contains a passive wire bonded to tongue-side of incisors. Patients have to floss the small space between retainer & teeth regularly as fixed retainers cannot be removed by the patient and cause tartar build-up or gingivitis due to difficulty of flossing while wearing the retainers.
