Is it possible to fix my front 4(upper jaw) and 2 from lower jaw tooth gaps with the help of hawleys appliance and retainer.My dentist said it is possible but orthodontist said it ll better if you put traditional but we can try with hawleys but dont blame us if u got some teeth slanding in future. I don't want extractions and permanent braces I want removable braces (hawleys) he said there are chances like that but it's my decision at the end of the day.i want to know whether it is okay to fix My gaps atleast( Im too much insecure about the gaps but not about my protrusion I'm okay with it).i just want to fix the gap with removable braces and retainer.Orthodontist asked me to take time and decide

Go for traditional fixed orthodontic treatment after that, go for hawley’s appliance. If you want to go for hawley’s appliance or removable orthodontic treatment the duration of treatment can be long.

Hi.. x ray shows upper teeth inclination as well along with spaces, if there are only spaces then you can opt for retainer but in your case inclination also to be treated. So better to go with braces once done you can use removable retainers or a fixed retainer as suggested by orthodontist

Better to go for braces treatment as the treatment prognosis is not good with hawleys appliances in your case. Hawleys can be used for retention and not the treatment in these types of facial profiles.

Hi, I suggest you follow the advise given by the Orthodontist. Better to close gaps with a fixed appliance rather than a removable appliance.
