SARPE (Surgically Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion)
SARPE (Surgically Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion) is a well-established surgical technique for achieving palatal expansion in adults. The procedure involves making surgical cuts to release the bony resistance that prevents non-surgical expansion from working in adults. After surgery, a conventional RPE device is used to expand the palate, similar to treatment in children. SARPE has been performed for decades and has a strong track record of success.
