How do you plan on going about your palate expansion? Are you going to be overseen by a dentist or orthodontist?

From what I've seen, Mike Mew says 1mm per week is safe and anything more isn't great in his opinion...

The issue is that I won't know how much this expander can really do.
I'm guessing I'll just have to measure at home instead.

Hello, in this video on YT - "Is Palatal Expansion Possible in Adults by Dr Mike Mew" - Mew says that he aims for 1mm per week. I don't have any personal experience with expansion yet, but I believe that it should expand the maxilla too.

I see, but I'll be buying a palate expander to use on myself, so I don't have an orthodontist to watch me.
It's going to be this one

Title says it all, thanks. I am wondering how long it will take for me to get a wider smile and face. Will palate expansion affect the maxilla too?
