Guest guest Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 I am 17 and I am going next Monday to get braces. I was also told that I am going to have to get a RPE. I have been reading that these might be unsuccessul because the sutures have already fused together. Is this true? My ortho talked about surgery and that is the last thing I will do. In fact, I have absolutly no desire of getting it. I will only get it if it is a last resort. And one last thing. If indeed the RPE does work, will it hurt badly?
