A Hawley Retainer is a removable orthodontic appliance designed to maintain tooth alignment after braces or clear aligner treatment. It consists of a durable acrylic base and a stainless steel labial bow, providing reliable retention while allowing for minor adjustments when needed. The removable design makes it easy to clean and comfortable for long-term wear.
