Hawley help!!

If you have finished with your orthodontic treatment and are wearing retainers (or will be soon), this is a special place to connect with others in your (enviable) situation. Ask a question or make a comment about life post-braces.

Hawley help!!

#1 Post by kaylaa »

Hi everyone, so I have been debraced for about a month now and I dropped my hawley on the floor. It seems that I bent the wire and it's pressing against my front right incisor. My ortho is closed on the weekends so I'm not sure what I should do.

If I leave the retainer out until Monday, my teeth might shift. If I wear it and it needs to be adjusted, my teeth might shift. Should I wear my retainer or not.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :)

Given the date of the post, it looks like you got this resolved. I would leave the Hawley out. An active force on your teeth pushing it in a direction that might be bad will create more problems than you teeth moving on their own.
