The authors aim to propose combination of Surgically Assisted Miniscrew-Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion (SAMARPE) with orthopedic traction miniplates placement in cases where a sagittal deficiency coexists with the necessity of carrying out a surgical maxillary expansion. Unlike the conventional orthopedic traction technique, where the miniplates are placed bilaterally in the infrazygomatic crest of the maxillary buttress, in this scenario the upper miniplates should be placed below the LeFort I osteotomy, and therefore a little bit angulated.
