I have an appointment to check whether I need a palate (or gum) expander. What should I tell them so that my insurance will cover it?
Also, what should I ask for to ensure maximum maxillary growth?

Ask for a marpe maybe
 
what is a marpe (im new to ts)
Miniscrew-Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion

it’s attached to your rooftop with screws and it’s very effective if you’re still developing

should I say I have problems breathing in my mouth or nose?
Say that your tounge doesn't fit in your mouth. Before going there bite the sides of your tounge really hard so that when they check it they can see the redness and believe you

Every Ortho is different.
If I were to visit a different Ortho in my city I'd maybe get a palate expander, if I go broader maybe Lefort 1 or Bimax.
I can't really change my Ortho so I'm stuck for now.
