The most commonly known use for the Hawley appliance is as a retainer after orthodontic therapy is completed.... The appliance is made of acrylic which holds various wire attachments. Generally, a Hawley constructed for the upper arch will cover the entire palate, and the lower Hawley will be shaped like a horseshoe. The wire attachments will include certain types of clasps and rests to help maintain the position of the retainer. Small springs may also be attached to achieve tooth movement. 1, record 2, English, - Hawley%20appliance
