is palate expansion worth it?

[Faster&Harder]

my palate is somewhat narrow ik this cuz i have I a 6-8 teeth smile. My teeth are not perfect but they look normal/straight unless u look too close.
My biggest concern is palate expansion leading to asymmetry becoming more noticeable and midface more flat.
Or should I just get aligners to widen the dental arch and correct any minor issues?

if its just a mildly narrow smile or small alignment issues aligners are usually the first go to since they can slightly widen the dental arch by moving teeth so true palate expansion is only needed if there’s a real skeletal issue which an orthodontist would confirm with scans
