My lower jaw is not aligned with my upper jaw.. it is smaller than my upper jaw. Therefore I might need mandibular expansion for fixing it. I read out over the internet that mandibular expansion doesn't work out well in adults. Will it work for me I'm 24? How much mandibular expansion cost? Is there any other non surgical procedure for correction of my crossbite?

Hello It seems that you have class 2 malocclusion. But it would be better if you could upload some photographs for better guidance. Also, just get a full mouth x ray (opg) done. At your age, orthodontic (braces) treatment can definitely be done. It is not necessary that mandibular expansion will be needed for you. Just visit an orthodontist and get yourself properly checked.
