Why are we not able to wear an expander but are able to wear braces? Does the expander changes the way you breath or talk?

How is it that if an adult stops growing and are not able to wear a palatel expander but are able to wear braces yet our teeth are constantly moving? Does not the suture moves with it? I mean I am 46 and thinking about getting one since my son had to wear it and it does a nice job. Does the expander changes the way you breath or talk?
