my palate seems slightly shifted to the left and causes a 1 mm midline shift (approximately), which is definetely because of how narrow my shit is, unfortunately i cannot see and ortho so i will not be able to get an expander or anything, are there any ways i can prevent the shift from getting worse without orthodontic appliances?
(retarted question but im desperate so wtv)

All the things you can do without orthodontic intervention rn is avoiding any unilateral jaw movement (chewing on one side,...) and also stop chronic mouth breathing (if you were doing it in the first place)

Like this post if it was helpful and mark it as solution (it's the check mark on my right)

If you can't maintain correct tongue posture, then just continue to breath through nose while your lips are sealed. Your case seems to be marpe candidate; make sure not to get anything weaker than that, brah
 
Not sure if this would be helpful, but make sure your head isn’t tilted/favoring one side to make it seem like youre asymmetrical.
Also if you’re still growing and your palate is shifted away from the side you sleep on, try favoring the other side going forward.

But yeah, most of these methods are cope compared to medical intervention eg orthodontist
