I just turned 14 seven days ago. I have a narrow palate because my Portuguese mom didn't breastfeed me. My sutures have not hardened yet and I wondering how much I can expand my palate.

Very lucky to discover mewing at such a young age. Tongue posture should probably be enough to expand your palate i guess.

Well, acording to Mew our ancestors had an intermolar width of roughly 53mm, so you could aim to expand your maxilla/palate to that with appliances or whatever. I think you can widen your palate as wide as your tongue, I think our tongues are around 50mm wide but I don't know for sure, but I do know that 50mm is what our ancestors had

@futuremodel Do you have any sample photos of people with IMW's in the 50s? Im guessing Jordan Barrett has a pretty high IMW.

@Pame I do not have the numbers of this picture https://www.facebook.com/orthotropics/photos/a.438740862823750/2157339520963867/?type=3&theater

But I do know that in Mike Mews videos he talked about our ancestors having an average intermolar width of around 53mm

I’m not 100% sure but I’m fairly sure that I have a large palate as you can see all 16 of my upper teeth when I smile like here

You can expand as much as your tongue allows. You can check this by opening your mouth and looking at your tongue while trying to spread it hard sideways. Your tongue will shrink in length and expand in width. That's the widest it gets when you are swallowing hard and that is the maximum the palate can get.

Now I am curious to ask why did you specify your mother nationality? Do Portuguese women neglect breastfeeding their children in particular, or something?

Unfortunately Portuguese mothers' were shamed for breastfeeding. I just thought I added that for how I have gotten a narrow palate.
