Without a retainer, teeth have a natural tendency to shift back toward their original positions over time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">We offer two types of retainers to suit different patient needs and preferences:<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Hawley Retainer<\/strong> \u2014 A traditional retainer consisting of an acrylic palatal plate with stainless steel wire running across the front teeth. It is durable, adjustable, and easy to clean \u2014 a trusted and time-tested option recommended by orthodontists worldwide.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Essix Retainer (Clear Retainer)<\/strong> \u2014 A modern, virtually invisible retainer made from clear thermoplastic material that fits snugly over the teeth like a thin shell. It is discreet, comfortable, and highly aesthetic \u2014 ideal for patients who prefer an invisible option.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Materials Used:<\/strong> For Hawley \u2014 Heat-cured acrylic resin, stainless steel wire (0.7mm \/ 0.8mm), orthodontic clasps. For Essix \u2014 Clear thermoplastic (PET-G) sheets, vacuum forming machine for precise adaptation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>How It&#8217;s Made:<\/strong> After receiving the final orthodontic impressions or models from your dentist or orthodontist, we pour and prepare the working model. For Hawley retainers, we bend the wire components, set them in wax, and process the acrylic plate. For Essix retainers, we vacuum-form clear thermoplastic sheets over the model, trim, and polish the edges for a smooth, comfortable fit. Both types are verified on the model before delivery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"><strong>Key Features:<\/strong> \u2714 Prevents tooth relapse after orthodontic treatment \u2714 Available in Hawley (wire) &amp; Essix (clear) options \u2714 Custom-fitted for precise retention &amp; comfort \u2714 Hawley retainer \u2014 durable, adjustable &amp; easy to clean \u2714 Essix retainer \u2014 virtually invisible &amp; highly aesthetic \u2714 Lightweight &amp; comfortable for daily wear \u2714 Custom-fabricated based on individual post-treatment models<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\">A custom-fabricated orthodontic retainer designed to maintain tooth position after braces or aligner treatment \u2014 available in Hawley wire retainer or Essix clear retainer at Mirza Dental Laboratory.<\/p>\n[njwa_button id=\"8387\"]\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8335,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[108],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-8260","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-retainer","first","instock","featured","shipping-taxable","product-type-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev-wordpress.velcodes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/product\/8260","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev-wordpress.velcodes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev-wordpress.velcodes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev-wordpress.velcodes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8260"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev-wordpress.velcodes.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/8335"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev-wordpress.velcodes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8260"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev-wordpress.velcodes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_brand&post=8260"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev-wordpress.velcodes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_cat&post=8260"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev-wordpress.velcodes.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_tag&post=8260"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
