Does a palate expander cause a gap in the front teeth?

saw a few posts but mostly from adults with fused sutures who already had a slight one

i'm 16 still in full puberty and a palate expander or MSE would basically fix 90% of my failios
worth it or nah?

yes it will but the gap will usally get fixed due to teeth adjusting later. its not serious
