  ABSTRACT: Transverse maxillary deficiency is a common discrepancy in both children and adults, which can lead to serious health problems, such as prejudicial malocclusions, breathing problems and a higher risk of developing obstructive sleep apnea. By considering the patient’s age and situating him or her on the growth curve, several treatment options can be envisaged, a rapid maxillary expansion (RPE), mini-implant-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE), Surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion (SARPE), Slow maxillary expansion and aligners. The aim of this article is to describe two methods of maxillary expansion in adults, and to discuss the different methods of maxillary expansion through a review of the literature.
