Comparative example
The structure of the Hawley retainer in the prior art is mainly different from that of the invention in that in the comparative example, the structure is formed by a hyperbolic lip bow, a resin base bracket and a retention snap ring by adopting a detachable design. Comparative example resin base support area is larger and coverage generally includes portions of the gums of the full dentition, anterior and lateral portions of the hard palate. The comparison example is characterized in that the snap rings of the rear teeth on two sides are embedded into the undercut region to generate mechanical retention, and the cooperative retention is formed by combining the adsorption force and friction force of the base support and the tissue surface and the auxiliary fixation of the labial arch of the front teeth. There is no first constant grinding belt ring, palate bar and traction device.
The main defects are as follows:
1. the retention snap ring relies on the rear teeth on two sides to realize retention, and the snap ring position is easy to interfere with occlusion.
Hawley retainer base is not effective in controlling tooth movement in the vertical direction. In cases where the expansion of the arch is accompanied by deep occlusion or open occlusion, it is difficult to suppress tooth elongation or depression.
Hawley retainers have no traction means, can only maintain the arch expanding effect, and cannot correct the shifted teeth.
The Hawley retainer resin base support has larger volume, aggravates foreign body sensation in the oral cavity, and has obvious exposure of the labial arch and poor aesthetic property.
Hawley's retainer is a removable retainer with high patient compliance requirements.
Performance testing
