Maxillary Final Retainer


When you have a cooperative patient, a removable retainer is an excellent way to maintain space. The basic Hawley retainer features Adams clasps on the first molars and a standard, tightly adapted Hawley type labial arch wire running from the distal of both cuspids.

 

Simple Mandibular Retainer


Shown here is a simple mandubular removable retainer. Hawley has the standard Hawley type labial arch wire. Adams clasps and rests are placed on the molars for posterior stability and to keep the appliance from over-seating into the tissue.

 

E-Z Bond Lingual Retainer


The EZ Bond retainer is a multi-strand, dead-soft wire that is carefully contoured to the lingual of the six anterior teeth. The key advantage to this appliance is use of a laboratory fabricated transfer tray that makes correct placement of the wire easy with a minimum of chair time.
