Fixed Appliances, Palatal Expansion

Rapid Palatal Expander

The RPE is typically used in phase I treatment to widen the arch, either before or during fixed treatment. Our expanders come in 7 or 11 mm screws and vary in activation depending on the style.

Now you can request the metal framework be 3D printed for the most predictable and accurate fit.  The simple two appointment process starts with a scan at appointment one and then delivery on the following date—no need for separators.

Materials

  • Wire: American Orthodontics Chromium Cobalt

Treatment & Care

The typical rate of activation is one (1) per day. Each RPE requires four (4) activations per 1mm. It is not uncommon to double up with one turn in the morning and one in the evening. Going too fast may damage the periodontal membrane or roots of the teeth. Going too slow may result in producing more dentoalveolar change and less sutural split than customarily desired.

This appliance should be cleaned every day with toothpaste and a soft toothbrush, morning and night. Encourage the patient to give sufficient time to clean thoroughly around the device, gums, teeth, and bands to maintain proper hygiene and prevent inflammation. Three minutes is recommended.

Additional Details

Our skilled digital technicians can help you conceptualize a design that provides maximum retention for the appliance.  Metal can be designed that runs snug to the lingual with exact fitting rests over the occlusion.  Options are available to cup the lingual and the buccal.  This revolutionary technology will change the way you serve your patients.

With each expansion appliance, we provide a custom swivel key that has an integrated activation recording tool directly on the handle.

Tip: If you find an expander is hard to turn, run under warm water to loosen the threads.
