fuck, you look good and no it probably won’t.
 
Palate expander will improve your smile and thats it, it wont effect your face at all.
 
By palate expander, do you mean something like mse/marpe? If that's what you are doing, there will be minimal changes to your face like maybe your cheekbones get a little wider. Of course this is assuming that your provider does a good job or you could get a asymmetrical face.

:lul: The specifics are VERY FUCKING IMPORTANT bro

If it is a RPE (Rapid Palatal Expander) or similar you should NOT do it as it won't have the strength to make skeletal change, and will probably just damage your alveolar bone. I'm assuming you're 16 or so.
yes , can you link me something that goes into more detail pls?

I'm curious about this aswell. Going to consult an orthodontist about getting a palate expander soon, hoping that my insurance can cover MSE, and I'm a bit worried about the notion of a tooth-borne expander.
 
There isn't something like that but I can help you out real quick

What do your teeth look like?
What's your goal with an expander?
Better pictures of your face?
my teeth are rotting kek

goal with an expander is a stronger lower third

Pause. It ain't happening.

All that an expander can do is slightly ROUND your face (if it is a MARPE, and depending on how much you expand)

it WILL NOT magically make your lower third stronger boyo.


That is implants' job
do i need a rounder face?
 
This is only for MSE/MARPE though.
Nah. No one except for very narrow-faced people need it. 99% of the time it makes people looks worse

Also I didn't even mention that it widens your nose and lips, making you look like a monkey

SARPE and DOME are different and don't have that effect on the face shape and nose, they just widen your smile
i think by what you can see my lips definetely dont need to be any more fuller or wider. theyre already a bit too bit if they get any bigger it would become another failo. Thanks for the enlightenment
 
I wouldn't risk it with some big expanding cuz your nose is already wide and it will be more even more wider, crowns and mollar fillers sounds very good, braces is ok as long is no extractions and rubber bands

What if you want more cheekbone projection or a wider FWHR?
