Help! How is a Hawley retainer supposed to fit?
Posted: Fri Apr 23, 2010 10:47 am
I just got my upper Hawley retainer today, but am a bit concerned about how it's fitting. Is the wire that goes across your teeth supposed to be pressed up against the teeth? Because mine isn't really...not on the four front teeth at least, just on my canines.
Also, the plastic behind the teeth doesn't feel very tight. The retainer isn't falling out or anything...but it's just there. Is this ok, or should I go back to my ortho?
