Last ortho I seen a year and a bit ago wanted to remove 4 pre molars and all wisdom teeth due to over crowding jfl glad I didn’t have it done.
What are my options to expand my jaw to straighten my teeth w/o extractions?
Id be too old for a palate expander no? If so what would be the next best option

we dont know ur age pal
 
A normal palate expander would work as long as ur palate hasnt fused, considering ur 16 it could still work.

If it has fused look into a surgically assisted palate expander, SARPE.

Good on not agreeing to extract any teeth, should only be done as an absolute last resort. (Not wisdom teeth)

A good thing to remember is people in general post bad results more often then good results.

But if ur bones has fused u don't really have any other options, there is mse which is like a stronger version of marpe.

If u would need sarpe the ortho would probably only need to losen up ur sutures very little since ur 16.

Idk ur exact situation but removing 4 teeth would probably look worse even if the outcome of sarpe isn't 100%
