At first I thought the doctor was confused, had made a mistake, not understanding the reason why we have a Bonded RPE. By it's very name, the bonded RPE is bonded. Cemented in place and not taken out until it's done its job and needs to be permanently removed.
Bu as I thought about this appliance, it dawned on me what a really good idea it is! Now there is a removable bonded RPE. A bonded RPE that is placed in the very same way as any other removable appliance and held in place with clasps such as Adams Clasps. It can be taken out and thoroughly cleaned and be kept clean throughout treatment.
Then if the patient was not wearing it full time, it would be a very simple matter to cut off the clasps (or leave them on) and bond it in place without any down time, converting the removable to fixed in seconds.
What a good idea, the Removable Bonded RPE. (Of course it's available from Ortholab)
