Preoperative planning with simulation
Rapid palatal expansion –
reliably achieve symmetrical results
Simq RPE
One of the main risks of rapid palatal expansion (RPE) is that the face is widened asymmetrically by the distractor, which also causes the occlusion of the teeth to no longer fit. Simulation-based optimization can be used to align the surgical incision to minimize the risk of asymmetric opening. Medical device manufacturers launching distractors can use our software to enhance their products with an additional planning service.

How it works
Solution approach of the IPS RPE
Challenge of SARME procedure
- Asymmetric anatomy
- symmetric force
- symmetric mobilization
(equal cutting lengths left/right)
- Asymmetric anatomy
Our solution
- Asymmetric anatomy
- symmetric force
- individualized mobilization
(individual cutting lengths left/right)
- Symmetrical opening
