Abstract

The surgically attended rapid maxillary expansion is a surgical technique that has been used to treat true transverse maxillary deformity in those patients with skeletal maturity. The treatment is a combination of orthodontics and surgical procedures. It provides a increase of maxillary arch occurring a better space for the tongue and corrects the black corridors. This procedure can be done with local anesthesia and is considered with little risk of serious complications, being a great alternative treatment. The aim of this article consists of a literature review about the several aspects of this therapeutic modality.
