    Therefore, long-term studies are needed in order to distinguish between the amount of orthodontic and surgical expansion, as well as overexpansion. SARME is generally considered a surgical procedure with low morbidity and a limited risk of serious complications, although life-threatening epistaxis, carotid cavernous fistula, and orbital compartment syndrome have been reported48,57–60. The most commonly reported complications after SARME include haemorrhage, pain, sinusitis, palatal tissue irritation/ulceration, asymmetrical expansion, nasal septum deviation, damage to teeth and periodontium, periodontal problems, and relapse48,61–65.
