Re: 29 year old getting RPE (rapid palate expansion) before braces

[Guest guest]

Ok, you got me disencouraged. I'm having SARPE next week and I'm not

going to back away, because my OS has pretty much assured me it's

going to be all right and won't be as drastic a thing as LeFort.

My ortho thinks having an expansion done is the only way to make room

for my impacted canines to be brought down or removed, so it's going

to be SARPE or no treatment at all - or treatment without SARPE and

taking big risks of losing teeth I'm not supposed to lose.

I hope your recovery will be fast and easy from now on and that you

will not go on having regrets of what should have been done when you

were a kid. Trust me, I've been doing a lot of that myself and it

hasn't helped me. I hope you will also find some positive aspects to

having the RPE done once you're over that achy part.

What are they using to expand your palate? I am having my palate

expaned as well during surgery.
