Throughout my journey of coping with my long midface, I've come across palate expanders, with a 58mm palate is it really worth it? especially at 17. I'd be fine with keeping it on for like 2+ years but I doubt it'll help at 17, pls prove me wrong and help me keep coping

TLDR: 58mm palate at 17, should I get an expander cause of my long midface

58mm is already wider than the average palate.
An expander wont fix your long midface, for that youd mostlikely need surgery

no doctor will do lefort for cosmetic reasons lol, 99% of the time it's to fix deformities
