Abstract :

Surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion (SARPE) is used to increase the transverse diameter of maxilla by separating the midpalatalsuture to gain the movement of maxillary shelves away from each other. Different techniques and modifications have been described. In our cases we used the method; performing Le-fort 1 osteotomy without downfracture and a midline osteotomy and using hyrax. Indications for SARPE, operation technique, possible complications were evaluatedin our cases.
