Thanks, don’t know what the dentist will say. But I’m willing to go through the pain for it

deviated septum??

I’m not 100% sure, looks like it tho

It's definitely deviated but no point in surgery unless you can't breathe properly

Yea, I can breathe fine tbh. But idk if my breathing is fine or it’s fucked and I’m just use to it. Lol

It looks narrow enough for u to be a candidate for plate expansion. Bite on a peice of paper and measure from one molar to another. The molar width will tell u how narrow it is ideal width should be 42 in.

Depends on how much will expand , will make cheekbones more prominent

Right, does it help with lip/mouth wideness. Or it that just genetics.

It doesn't help with mouth/lip wideness but it can help if you have a narrow smile

I see, well I do have a narrow smile. So that would help
