Hawley Replacement Retainers
About This Retainer
Hawley retainers are the classic wire-and-acrylic design trusted by orthodontists for decades. A custom-molded acrylic base sits against the roof of your mouth (or behind your lower teeth), with a metal wire that holds your teeth in position. They're the most adjustable retainer type and tend to last the longest with proper care.
Every retainer is manufactured to your orthodontist's exact specifications by a certified, USA-based dental lab.
Care Instructions
- 💧 Clean daily with lukewarm water and a soft toothbrush. Avoid hot water — it can warp the material.
- 📦 Store in your retainer case when not wearing. Never wrap it in a napkin (the #1 way retainers get thrown away).
- 🔄 Plan to replace your retainer about once a year. Daily wear causes gradual wear and tear — a fresh retainer keeps your teeth where they belong.
- ⚠️ Avoid toothpaste, mouthwash, or harsh cleaners — they can scratch or discolor your retainer. A gentle dish soap works great.
