Types of Appliances
Here are some sample appliances we use in orthodontic treatment:
- The Rapid Palate Expander , also known as a "RPE," is an appliance
used to widen the roof of the mouth in order to make room for teeth to
grow. It is an appliance that requires turning each night for a specified
period of time and results in the expansion of the upper arch.
- The Pendulum appliance is related to the Rapid Palate Expander
except you don't have to turn this appliance.
- The Quad Helix is also an appliance used to expand the upper arch.
