I Have Deviated Septum and Protrusive Dental Arches. Do my Teeth Affect my Septum?

frustratedwiththis
I have a septum that buckles twice, and my dental arches are protrusive (this only happened after my wisdom teeth came in). I currently have braces and my arches are being expanded. Is there any way that through arch expansion, my septum will start straightening, or will I have to go through surgery to fix it?
