Retainers

Spring Hawley

We reset the misaligned anterior teeth into an ideal or slightly over-corrected position on the model. The appliance carries acrylic on the labial bow and a mushroom-shaped lingual spring. Use it to correct minor rotations and close small diastemas without going back into brackets.
