Abstract
Maxillary compression malocclusion in horizontal or transverse plane, is in early age, of multifactorial origin, due to the lack of development of the maxilla. It is one of the most common malformations in orthodontics

They underwent clinical history, study models, lateral cephalogram and orthopantomography. Those who presented maxillary compression were referred to the Regional Center of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (CRAIC) of the University Hospital, UANL., Where a rhinomanometry (T1) was performed to know the values of nasal airflow (NAD) and nasal resistance (RN). before starting the maxillary expansion treatment (ERM)
The treatment of MRS is an effective treatment to relieve maxillary compression, helps improve nasal capacity, increasing FAN and decreasing the NR; it is not recommended in order to improve nasal permeability exclusively
Summary
Maxillary compression malocclusion in horizontal or transverse plane, is in early age, of multifactorial origin, due to the lack of development of the maxilla. It is one of the most common malformations in orthodontics [1,2,3]. The average transpalatal length of the maxillary arch is 36 to 39mm, in this we find a dentition of average size without crowding or diastemas in some occasions. The dental arches with less than 31mm of transverse length, may present crowding; in them it will be necessary to perform maxillary orthopedics or surgically assisted expansion for its treatment [4]. The incidence of maxillary compression increases among young people due to respiratory problems, food, habits, etc. [6,7]
