What orthodontics could help with narrow palate? I also have a bad side profile from downward growth.

I've had only my left premolars extracted and wisdom teeth extracted at 15 for crowding (my right side wasnt, and I feel like this causes assymetry), but I feel they retracted my dental arch a bit too much because my tongue is causing sleep apnea. I'm 17.5 right now, and I wish I knew about expansion at the time. God, why didn't I read through forums sooner?!?!?!?

They've reduced my dental arch for top and bottom teeth, and I feel like my upper lip has no support anymore for my nose causing it to be way droopier than what was before.

What do you guys think about reopening the premolar space and putting implants, and how would I fix the downward growth at an age like this?

Is it really over??

What should I do and ask for at the orthodontist to fix my narrow palate, reverse my shitty orthodontics and if possible my downward growth aswell?
Just throw out any suggestions and lmk
 
Rapid Palatal Expansion MARPE SARPE A downward growth pattern is usually not fixed by palate expansion alane,but it can make the smile wider may provide subtle support to the midface and it can improve nasal breathing.

The more descriptive the better guys, I'm not very knowledgeable in the orthodontic space....
