Palate expander at 16

[Bundinkalegend]

16 years old I'm thinking of getting a palatal expander from bracesshop
https://www.bracesshop.com/en/palatal-expanders/4/active-plate-schwarz?c=56
then get invisalign to fix any teeth gaps + get a wider smile
Is this the best/safest way to get my palate expanded, or do I have to do it under the guidance of an ortho (who would probably not allow for the treatment)
What's an alternative

Sorry, I didn't express myself correctly. I wanted to write what I saw. The idea is that first you order a thing to make a mold of your teeth, and then they prepare an expander for your teeth and palate. But I have a question about what to do with the lower teeth. In fact, if you expand the upper jaw, you will have to expand the lower one too.

nope. The lower follows the upper. Especially if you are young. You can also do a mold of your lower jaw and get an expander for that too, the same webstie sells it
