Hawley Retainers & Phase 1, Removable Appliances

Hawley with Arrow Clasps

The Hawley with Arrow Clasps appliance is a retainer designed for effective post-orthodontic retention, featuring a 3×3 labial bow and arrow clasps for enhanced stability. The arrow clasps are strategically placed between the premolars and molars, utilizing their sharper tips to engage undercuts, providing superior retention. The labial omega loops allow for easy adjustments, ensuring a customized fit for each patient. This design offers a blend of secure retention and adaptability, helping maintain the alignment of teeth while promoting long-term stability following orthodontic treatment.

Who Made Me:

C. Philip Adams, an English orthodontist, invented the arrowhead clasp, also known as the Liverpool clasp, in 1948. It’s one of the most commonly used orthodontic clasps today. The Arrow Clasps are a unique addition to the traditional Hawley retainer design, providing a more secure fit, particularly for cases with minimal undercuts. This variation has become popular in situations where additional retention is needed without sacrificing patient comfort.
