Consult your orthodontist fr the same. Not every case needs expansion of the palate.

Hello. I will suggest you to please get an opinion from your treating orthodontist. All cases do not require palate expansion. An orthodontist will need to evaluate if expansion is needed for your case.
You got your four premolars extracted due to which the volume of your oral cavity is reduced. Your tongue will take a few months to get adjusted to the new volume. So please give it some time.
If you're please unsure get yourself evaluated.
