Is this proof that traditional braces do stun your palate growth?

It's so over, so a couple of days ago i got my sculpt of my teeth after i was done with braces, they look like this:

So you can see are the 2 teeth on each corner more outwards and its a wider palate there, and all the others are narrow (maybe 34mm) I've had traditional braces for 7 years (8-15)... I've had them on every teeth except the ones at the corners. if this is true it likely stunned my palate growth by atleast .5 cm. I regret having braces. Is this a sign that the braces has infact make my palate more narrow?

Bro, the last molars are like that because the wisdom teeth are pushing on them, they should get removed, I have the same thing xdd

You can mark as solution, also even traditional braces don't really cause recession or prevent expansion necessarily, only real bad thing is getting anything besides wisdom teeth extracted

Also, I js wanted to add on that specific teeth can't be expanded, only pushed and that's pure teeth tipping because the palate is 2 separate bones, so if it would be wider everything would, not only specific teeth like the molars. It's definitely just being pushed by wisdom teeth

oh alright, do you think 32-35mm width is narrow?

Kinda narrow but not too terrible

Expansion to 40-43 mm would make good improvements

The big improvements from marpe are usually from people with a palate narrower then 30mm so If you'd expand the results would be noticeable but not big
