Can the orthodontist widen my jaw even though i'm 20?

Yes, it is possible: Most likely, if you are in your 20s, and you are getting the upper jaw widen, you still have a really good chance of getting a good response. This is true especially if the required expansion is mild or moderated. On severe cases you will get more dental effects and less bone response.
