Yes: There are some who feel you can always expand the palate. there is the ALF appliance and another that escapes me right now. However, you should do this with someone who is trained in doing it.

Consult orthodontist: The palatal expander is most often followed by braces. After the use of a palatal expander, you will most likely need to wear braces for several months to ensure that the teeth position themselves correctly. For more information consult your orthodontist.
