Hi! Since you're 18 and have already had 4 PME sessions, a palate expander or DNA appliance may not be needed unless there are still issues like a narrow upper jaw, breathing problems, or bite misalignment. It's best to let your orthodontist evaluate your case and decide if further expansion is necessary.
