Bonded RPE

$165.00

The Bonded Rapid Palatal Expander is based on the trusted Leone RPE, but we offer customization with any of our RPE options. With a durable .036 frame, it fits the inner (lingual) and outer (buccal) areas of the back teeth. For enhanced usability, we offer easy-remove arms and optional Class III correction hooks. Each RPE includes a swivel key with an activation tracker.
