What color Hawley did you get?
Hey! I'm getting a Hawley retainer when I get my braces off on July 5, and on June 7 I'm going in for impressions and I get to choose the color/design of the retainer.
Which got me wondering...for those of you with Hawleys, what colors did you get? Are you happy with the choices? Any recommendations?
Thanks, Eve

Good question! In all of the excitement of being debanded, I THINK I chose a light pink/mouth color with mini glitter. I'll find out tomorrow. It's been 3 weeks since the braces came off and it all happened so quickly that my head is still spinning!

well I went today and I got to choose my color. They didn't have sparkles which I was originally planning on getting, so I got a clear-pink kind of color with a sticker of whinny the pooh on it. I thought it was cute, and besides, no one sees it since it's in your mouth! Can't wait till it comes and I can actually see it....

Just went with plain clear. I thought the flesh colour looked pretty foul (sorry downhillskier!) and I didn't want a design. My ortho didn't want me to do it - he said they're easier to lose - but I promised to be very careful with them. For a device that looks so small and thin in your hand, it feels pretty clunky in my mouth!
I'm really keen to hear what people who have both a Hawley and Essix think about them comparatively. My ortho has said I can get an Essix if I want for wearing to work, but I get the impression from people on these boards that they're not that great. Flotsam, what are your thoughts?
