Should I get an expander and possibly Damon braces?Found an ortho in my area that offers both+ additional resources. Not sure if it's right tho. 16

I've had traditional braces for 3 years and some elastics due to my extremely severe overbite which is still present but greatly reduced. My forward growth isn't great but nothing severe, I do have some signs of recession though and have some trouble breathing at night, I would wake up with an extremely dry mouth, headaches sometimes waking up in the middle of the night, trouble breathing through nose and I do also have severe allergies which makes it worse. Although these symptoms have gotten a bit better. I also have a slightly deviated septum if that matters. I feel as if I can plead my case for an expander or even possibly djs. I just don't want an expander to fuck me up if I don't need it. Can Pm other pictures if necessary. Thanks in advance.

^My teeth before any braces.
 
check my posts i got refused mse and facemask they told me my palate wasnt narrow even tho i literally have a bit of crowding on my lower teeth and very minimal barley noticeable on my upper (ortho would say it’s not crowding)

yeah I got refused an expander too but recommended seeing an surgeon if I continue feeling uncomfortable turns out my palate I rlly deep ig but my bite is near perfect. Ill prob go to a surgeon within a year by the time im 17-18
