they will likely not ascend you unless you have bad teeth which is a big falio

Only braces literally just makes your teeth fit in your jaw
Thumbpulling (if you manage to split the suture) expands the jaw so the teeth eventually align in with the new space

If you add stuff probably they can recess you like elastics or extractions

Bracces recess you by causing permanent root damage and applying unnatural pressure to teeth, which cause root resorption and your jawbones to shrink. Better option is thumbpulling/other forms of palatal expansion.
