Preoperative planning with simulation
Symmetry through optimized cutting
docq RPE
One risk of rapid palatal expansion (RPE) is that the face may be asymmetrically widened by the distractor. Simulation-based optimization can aim the surgical incision to reduce the risk of asymmetric opening. Medical device manufacturers of distractors can use this process to add value to their product by providing an additional service.
Solution approach of the IPS RPE
Asymmetric shift
through symmetric mobilization
(equal cutting lengths left/right)
Symmetric shift
through individualized mobilization
(cutting length adjusted left/right)
