Color and appearance

Acrylic Color

Choose the color of the acrylic parts of the appliance. The public selector shows the shades that can be represented most clearly on screen. Additional available colors and multi-color placement can be requested in the checkout Notes field for compatible acrylic constructions.

Add Silver Glitter

Adds silver glitter to the selected acrylic color.

Ligature Color

Choose the color of the elastic ligatures fitted around the brackets. Available colors are shown in the selector.

Palate Design

Select the type of palatal coverage:

Full Palatal Plate

Uses a full acrylic plate across the palate of an upper appliance.

Horseshoe Palatal Plate

Uses a U-shaped acrylic plate with an open central palate area.

Add-ons

Headgear Tubes

Adds compatible metal tubes to the appliance for connection to a separately selected facebow. The facebow or headgear is not included unless it is selected separately.

Tongue Crib

Adds a wire-grid component behind the front teeth. Its exact shape and position depend on the selected appliance.

Reverse Pull Hooks

Adds metal attachment hooks in the product-specific standard position for connection to a compatible separately supplied reverse pull face mask.

Acrylic-Covered Labial Bow

Adds a clear acrylic covering to the visible front section of the labial wire.

Add Cheek Guards

Adds bilateral acrylic side shields to a compatible construction.

Extra-Thick Acrylic

Uses a thicker acrylic construction than the standard version. This adds material and may make the appliance feel bulkier.

Add Lip Bumper

Adds a U-shaped wire component with an acrylic-covered front section positioned in front of the lower teeth. Exact placement depends on the selected appliance.

Additional Expansion Screw

Adds another screw assembly and corresponding acrylic sectioning where the selected construction has sufficient space. Exact placement must be specified or confirmed before production.

Tongue Bead (Pearl)

Adds a small smooth bead to a wire component in the product-specific standard position.

Add Impression Kit

If you don’t already have dental impressions or digital scans, select this option to receive our easy-to-use impression kit, complete with instructions.

The Removable Acrylic Rapid Palatal Expander (RPE) combines two acrylic side sections with a genuine orthodontic screw assembly and stainless-steel wire components. A labial bow runs across the front teeth.

The upper and lower versions each have their own acrylic shape and screw placement. In the upper version, the screw sits centrally toward the back of the appliance. In the lower version, it is positioned toward the front, on the tongue side of the teeth.

Choose an appliance for the upper or lower jaw, or select Upper & Lower Jaw to receive two separate removable appliances, each with its own screw assembly.

Expanders

  • Are the expansion screws genuine orthodontic components?

    Yes. Our expander-style appliances use genuine orthodontic expansion screws and professional laboratory construction. The screws are not dummy props. This construction does not establish individual suitability for treatment or guarantee a dental or skeletal effect.

  • Can I order an appliance for orthodontic treatment?

    Standard consumer orders are not supplied for orthodontic treatment. For treatment-related needs, consult a licensed local orthodontist. Any request for treatment-purpose manufacture requires separate review and an individual prescription specifying the appliance’s construction. BracesShop does not diagnose, plan treatment, or provide clinical supervision.

  • Can you help me compare the different appliance designs?

    We can explain the physical construction, available options, and required records for each design. We cannot recommend an appliance for a dental condition or treatment goal. A licensed local orthodontist must assess treatment-related suitability.

  • Can I personalize the colors and construction?

    Yes. Choose from the options shown in the product configurator. For another available acrylic color, a multi-color design, or a construction request that is not listed, describe your preferences in checkout Notes. Our technicians will review special requests before fabrication. Some requests may require an additional charge, which will be confirmed with you.

  • What happens after I place my order?

    We make your appliance from suitable dental impressions or compatible intraoral scans. If you need an impression kit, you can order it together with the appliance. Upload clear impression photos through the customer portal and wait for approval and return instructions before sending the impressions. Scan files can also be uploaded through the portal. Fabrication begins after suitable records have been received and checked.

  • Do you ship internationally?

    Yes, we ship worldwide from the USA and the EU! We have return addresses in the USA, UK, and EU for your convenience. Shipping costs are calculated at checkout, and tracking is included with every order.

  • Is an impression kit required for my order?

    You need suitable records for each jaw required by your selected appliance and options, but you do not necessarily need a new impression kit. Recent dentist-taken impressions or compatible intraoral scans may be used after review. Records from a previous BracesShop order may also be reusable if they remain available and your teeth have not changed. If you do not have suitable records, you can add an impression kit to your order.

  • What is the return process for my impressions?

    Upload clear photos through the customer portal linked in your order-status emails. If you cannot use the portal, email the photos with your order number to [email protected]. After approval, you will receive the appropriate return instructions and address or return label. Please wait for these instructions before sending your impressions.

  • Will I receive screw activation or adjustment instructions?

    No. BracesShop does not provide screw activation, adjustment, or treatment instructions. Any treatment-related activation or adjustment must be determined and supervised by a licensed local orthodontist.
