You are still at an age where you can get easy palate expansion. If you can, get FME or Custom Marpe. If not possible, then MSE. If even that's not possible, try to find some more dental based expander, you are still at an age where you can get bone expansion with them. SARPE is absolute last choice, would not recommend

is your palate actually narrow?, if your not having breathing problems + have an 8 or more tooth smile then your palate width is good
