Cope: Mewing might give a tiny bit of expansion at 16, but probably <1 mm
Semicope: If your overbite is due to a receding mandible from forward head posture (google pictures of this to see if you have it) correcting your posture and strengthening neck and upper back muscles can cause the mandible to move forward a bit
Noncope: Even if you can't afford it now, as an adult you can get expanders. They are kinda rough and take longer, but I got my maxilla expanded with a MARP-E at a normal orthodontist. Had to get screws drilled into my pallete to pull it apart but worth it.

Not sure how much the MARPE was individually but I think all of my orthodontic work (braces as well) has been around 7,000 (USD). My best advice for you if you want expansion is to tell them you want to keep all of your teeth and not do extractions, and just expand to make room for them. My teeth were super crowded like yours, and my options were extraction or expansion. They tried to push me to extract but I refused so they had to give me the expander.

i heard that extraction would mess me over so thank you for the money goal
