Rapid Maxillary Expander
Rapid Maxillary Expander (RME)
By simply activating the expander through turning a screw in the center of the palatal expander, with a special key we provide, gradual outward pressure is placed on the left and right halves of the upper jaw. The patient is provided with instructions on how many times to turn the screw. When the desired expansion is achieved, in some instances, the appliance will be worn for several months to solidify the expansion and to prevent regression.
