Objectives: Surgical assisted rapid maxillary expansion (SARM can affect both skeletal and dental shape and soft tissue the size of the nasal passages and airway resistance, favoring improved nasal respiration. Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluation of transverse dental changes after surgical assisted rapid maxillary expansion in adults. Patients and Methods: The present study was carried out to clinically assessment of the surgical assisted rapid maxillary expansion. Nine healthy adult patients were used in this study. Surgical assisted rapid maxillary expansion was done. Patients were subjected to evaluation by study models. Results: Results of the current study have indicated that surgical assisted rapid maxillary expansion values of study models were higher. Conclusion: study models may be effective in clinically assessment of surgical assisted rapid maxillary expansion.
