Yeah, I’d say it’s generally worth it, but it really depends on the severity of the malocclusion. Palatal expansion can be effective, but it also has the potential to negatively impact facial aesthetics, especially if applied too aggressively or without proper oversight. If the misalignment is relatively mild, orthotropic methods might be a safer and more controlled alternative—especially for those looking for a biomechanically sound, lower-risk, DIY-compatible approach.
