Sarpe expansion

Sarpe can widen the palate, obviously, but does sarpe widen the complete palate, back and front, equally?

To get SARPE your upper palate has to be smaller than your lower.

Isn't that right?

What if you got SARPE on the top and wilckodontics on the bottom to widen the dental arch to accommodate the new wider maxilla??
