The patient seemed to be more satisfied while wearing the vacuum formed retainers.3) As far as durability and survival of the retainer is concerned, fewer breakages were reported in Hawley's retainers than the vacuum formed retainers.4) When comparing the oral hygiene maintenance of the two, Hawley's retainers proved to maintain better hygiene than the thermoplastic retainers, in terms of swallowing of fluid and saliva.
