Modified Spring Hawley

The modified spring Hawley retainer is a removable orthodontic appliance designed not only for retention but also for minor tooth movement typically addressing mild rotations or misalignments in the anterior segment. It incorporates active spring components, such as finger springs or labial bow modifications with helices, into the standard Hawley framework.  These elements deliver light, controlled forces to facilitate minor orthodontic correction without the need for fixed appliances.  This design is particularly useful for post-treatment relapse cases or limited anterior alignment, offering a conservative, non-invasive treatment alternative.
