Palate expander for narrow palate

[tssucks]

Hey, Im writing because I have a pretty narrow palate which should be obvious from the title. My orthodontist never mentioned it but I think it would imrpove my quality of life and also my shitty fwhr. For reference when my teeth are closed and relaxed my breathing can sound like im snoring almost with my mouth closed. I turned 17 2 months ago so I don't think a palate expander is out of the question. Is there anything specific I can say to my dentist or orthodontist that will increase the chances they think a palate expander is the best option, cause idfk if this on it's own warrants one

Convince your parents that you need one because ortho's tend to not care about what you want personally, also try to get insurance to cover it if it affects your quality of life

Thumb pulling legit works more than this, Palate expander is more than likely shit, Yes it expands your palate, but then you'll have to deal with getting braces to fix the wide gap in the front teeth which will result in it cooking your curve of spee and causing autism... braces is cancer. You will legit get more progress with thumbpulling jfl as it literally works if you're consistent with it...

If u wanna go down that route tho Your best option will be to go to your local airway dentist and consult with them because they know the real shit not like the gay orthodontists.

“I got a palate expander when I was 14, and it drastically helped”

What if I presented it to the orthodontist as if my parents had heard me breathing weird and were concerned? Im not sure i'll get explicit concern from them to the orthodontist, but I guess I could emphasize it further to them

If u really wanna get it just yap about how breathing is hard for you, how narrow your airways are, how you snore a lot, blah blah then they will probably agree to an expansion
