First of all, i just turned 18, i used an expander when I was a kid but it wasnt enough i guess. I have an overbite with a slightly overjet as you can see in the pics. Basicaly my dentist want me to extract my 2 upper wisdom teeth and then put me elastics to fix my overbite, i asked an expander but He said it wouldnt be good cause my palate is already expanded and it would mess me up (crazy how he even said about upper pre molar extractions lol). What should I do? Should i get an expander? If so, how could it help me since He said it would First of all, I just turned 18, I used an expander when I was a kid but it was not enough I guess.

Don't get extractions at any cost, find new orthodontist if you can

Lestoa's thread mentioned wisdom teeth removal being necessary because if you leave them in bone resorption happens which limits your bone mass. However, this doesn't apply to your primary, visible teeth which should NEVER be extracted. IMO if you're hardmaxxing with a bimax then you should get your wisdom teeth removed anyway.

Get rid of braces and don't remove teeth, stop trying to correct your bite, it doesn't affect your looks

Now thats an absolutely low iq answer, fixing bite def affects your looks, the thing is how much will it affect.

Wisdom teeth is different from premolars. Wisdom teeth might not be that bad but with premolars they will push the jaw back and recess the face.

Yes extractions recess the face and airway causing breathing problems at night. Do expander and don't get elastics for overbite. Do lots of incisor chewing with hard gum if you are young.
 
Just said I was 18 BTW, but what about the problem of using and expanding? Apparently it fucks the upper teeth to lower teeth relation cause it would get wider, how do u explain it?

get mse, wisdom tooth extraction wont do really much to you as your like 18 now, if he wants to extract teeth to fix overbite then change ortho, he is a bad one, if it is cuz your wisdom teeth are bad or whatever then do it, on the long run would be way better

What about the problem with my lower arcade? Expanding the upper one wont cause and disproportion?

wisdom extractions are okay to get. they're usually a prerequisite for surgery anyways. premolars are the ones you want to avoid
