I know that my palate is narrow and I’m getting MSE to fix that issue, but is my maxilla also recessed because in that case I could ask my orthodontist for a facemask.

Yes your maxxila is reccesed. But trust me. Start mewing
 
I do mew but I’m pretty sure it won’t have any bigger effects.
I thought that too in the beginning. But that was over 2 years ago. Now my face is noticeably wider than my family members

I mean look I do mew and everything that people say to do but I haven’t noticed any change in maxillary width or projection

If you take action now, consistently wearing a face mask while doing mse at 14 can have good effect. You can combine it with maybe some pharmaceuticals to make it slightly more effective. If things go well you can make your recession not stand out anymore.
 
Whats important is that they dont push your lower jaw back to fix your underbite. if they do you have to kill them.
 
Underbite*
ahhhh ok so your lower jaw does fit with your recessed maxilla. Well then if you do happen to achieve forward growth i nthe maxilla this means youll also get more forward gworth in the lower jaw making it more prominent.
 
Nothing that will fix your issues no

But I would at least get an expander
Expansion is definitively checked on my to do list but as for facemask, do you not think that using it whilst having MSE could lead to some sort of valuable forward growth?

I have no idea, I got into bp when I was 22 so I never really cared to learn abt orthodontics, it wouldn’t have done shit for me
