Retainers

Standard Hawley

The labial bow crosses the occlusal plane distal to the cuspids, and the loops let you adjust it chairside. The standard lower uses first molar occlusal rests instead of clasps, and you can customize either arch with Adams, ball, arrow or delta clasps. Acrylic colors and designs come from our standard range.
