Im 18 years old, and unsure wether or not i have a narrow palate. I can fit most of the tounge in terms of width but not all the way back because then i cant breath. Will the airway expand so i can have the tounge further back over time?
Also it seems like the key to see results is having a wide palate, do i have that?
I have mallaclusion because of posture, not because of mouth breathing. Also will mewing help with facial symetry naturally or do you have to put more pressure on one side. I dont think this makes sense because to see results you shouldput very little pressure?
Palate:
You have a near wide palate, your palate isn't super vaulted like the ones you would find in people with narrow palates. I've heard of results from people who mew that claimed to have more symmetry. I wouldn't risk putting more pressure in one side. For the "very little pressure" part, to see good results you should put as much force as a swallow against your palate.

Okay, so i dont need expander? im worried since my tounge is barely touching the teeth at the sides for it to fit, maybe it will start messing with their position. And if im having the tounge in the position as if im about to swallow, having the tounge all the way back i cant breath? is this normal, will the airway expand?
It depends, if you're fully mature and done with puberty, you'll probably need a palate expander, because the sutures are hardened but not fused. Try to adjust the back of your tongue to move forwards

Yes, the very reason people don't tend to practice proper oral posture is because it impinges their airway, and this perpetuates the downward spiral of the maxilla dropping further down and back, further restricting the airway. Anyone without adequate tongue space will find that the posterior third, when correctly seated on the roof of the mouth, will press the soft palate into the pharynx, restricting breathing through the nose. This can even be a sign that you have achieved correct oral posture. Then you have to practice the control to back off just enough to breath, while still keeping the posterior tongue engaged.

Making room for the airway, yes, moving the face forward will create some distance from point to another point in the airway.
