I am 17 years old and I have my first appointment with an orthodontist in a few days.
My teeth are already pretty crooked so I would get braces anyways. But getting an expender after braces is retarded jfl so i wanna get an expender asap so maybe the healthcare in Germany can pay for it (if I start before 18 its possible)
I think we can all agree that my palate is narrow but is it narrow enough for my orthodontist to give me an expender?
You can also see my "6/8 teeth smile" (not smiling in this pic, just showing teeth)
What Im gonna tell my orthodontist:
Should I larp about sleep apnea or smth like that?
Whats the best expender? (MSE, MARPE, SARPE, FARPE, etc.)
What results can I expect? Is it really worth it?
If anyone has experience with expenders in Germany pls lmk I often heard its hard to get expenders in Germany..

What Im gonna tell my orthodontist:
- Tongue has no proper space on the palate (rests on teeth)
- Mild crowding in the front
- Dark spaces when smiling (buccal corridors)
- I often mouth breathing
- Nasal breathing feels suboptimal
- hard to hold right tongue posture (mewing)
- Bite feels uneven
