Guest guest Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 hello i need braces but the Ortho said i should see an OS. i have an underbite and the braces alone will not do the job. So after 18 months or so after the braces are on, i will have corrective jaw surgery. But first, my upper palette has become very narrow over the years, so i will need a palette expander placed by the Ortho,along with the braces, and then the OS will do a Rapid Palette Expansion surgery. My OS says i will need 2 weeks off from work. Has anyone gone thru this RPE surgery and can give me some feedback on it and how it was, how it was post-op and recovery? Thanks.
