Expansion of maxillary arch can be achieved in adult. However, actual bone movement will be much less compared to treatment in growing patient. Satisfactory dental movement can still be achieved. If large amount of expansion is needed, surgical assistance will be needed. Some new types of braces (self-ligating) are more efficient in expanding dental arches. Expansion can only give moderate space to relieve crowding. It has little effect on reducing protrusion or overbite (buck teeth).
