Clear Retainers

The Regular Hawley retainer is the most widely used type of retainer. On a stone model, a thin layer of acrylic is applied evenly and precisely. This layer contours the lingual surface of teeth and a labial arch wire is in contact with the buccal aspect of incisors. adjustments can be made with the compensation loops that are placed on either side of the canines. 

Fabrication requirements

Begg Retainer

The “W” 3-3 or 4-4 Hygienic twist flex wire perfectly hugs the lingual aspects of the incisors, canines sometimes premolars, maintaining them in position. 

This fixed retaining solution is much simpler for patients when using dental floss.
