3D RPE
$165.00
The RPE, primarily used in phase I treatment, is designed to widen the arch either before or during fixed treatment. With our advanced approach, you can now opt for a 3D printed metal framework, ensuring unparalleled predictability and a precise fit. Our expanders come in 7 or 11 mm screws, with activation tailored to each style. The streamlined process begins with an initial scan and culminates in the delivery of the appliance on your next visit, eliminating the need for separators.
