Eltz orthodontic glossary

What is a Hawley retainer?

The Hawley retainer consists of metal clasps and a sturdy plastic plate.

The retainer is worn at night and ensures that the teeth stay in the correct position. Hawley retainers can be used to hold the teeth in place or even to move them slightly.
