> I had braces for about three years (I’m a 15-year-old male). I got them removed a year ago, and my teeth are aligned and pretty much perfect. However, I really don’t like my narrow jaw. Will a palate expander cause any negative effects while widening my maxilla?

A palate expander has no aesthetic benefits except for making your smile wider, your facial shape and jaw narrowness stays the same.

Jaw is already done. No widening will occur at that age.

they might not let you get a palate expander if your top and bottom arch already match eachother
