This RPE Doesn’t Need a Key?! | Building the Keles Keyless Expander (KKE) Live

In this live stream, I’m building a Keles Keyless Rapid Palatal Expander (KKE) — and it’s my first time working with a key-free RPE screw. Unlike traditional expanders that require parents to hunt for a tiny activation hole with a flashlight, the KKE allows the patient to activate the expander themselves — no key required. That’s a huge win for compliance, comfort, and peace of mind for both kids and parents. This build will also feature 3D metal sintered bands, showcasing how digital workflows are changing the way orthodontic appliances are fabricated in today’s labs. 🔧 What you’ll see in this live stream: How the Keles Keyless RPE (KKE) works Differences between traditional RPE screws vs keyless activation Building an RPE step-by-step in a real orthodontic lab Using 3D metal sintered bands in appliance fabrication Lab tips, workflow considerations, and design insights Whether you’re an orthodontic lab technician, orthodontist, or just interested in modern orthodontic appliance design, this stream gives you a real-world look at where RPE technology is heading. 👉 Product reference and research provided by Aegis‑Star https://www.aegis-star.com/ 💬 Join the live chat, ask questions, and bend along with me.
