Hi, teeth movements are best done with fixed appliances, the Hawleys can do minor tooth movements and are generally used as a passive appliance following fixed appliance therapy for retaining the teeth in the same position. I would recommend you visit your orthodontist for a more precise opinion because your dental problem needs to be examined. There are other good options (the signers) alternative or fixed appliances as well
