How narrow is my palate? Is a palate expander worth it?

[3ricutz]

I recently heard about palate expanders and how they can improve the forward growth of the maxila(I might be wrong). I have crowded teeth and I gues is cus of the narrow palate. I also had normal braces and removable braces 5 years ago and they helped me, but my teeth partially migrated back. Please someone educate me on it and give me some tips

Do you think an expander is the way to go?

That's a pretty good plus to it, I have to say I'm not happy with my smile but did you see any other changes in the face after having an expander?

a clear crowding of the teeth, if you have the money go for a slow expansion or thumbpull, with appropriate preparations(sutures and loosening fascia) but it won't work any better than expansor

i still have somewhat of a long-face syndrome due to mouthbreathing, palate expander probably prevented it from being worse

I recommend you to bite some object or food and then measure the palate size with measuring tape, if its lower then 50mm, it could be lowk over
