My midline is also off and is shiftet more to my right side, most importantly to me I would like to widen the upper teeth arch, please let me know what I can do. Sorry for not posting a pic.

Brad Lockhart, DDS · Answer

There are many good options for developing an upper dental arch. The best option is dependent on multiple things, including: how much arch development is needed, what is the age of the patient, how compliant is the patient, etc.Make sure that no matter how arch development is achieved it MUST be done slowly. Rapid expansion is not stable and can cause irreversible problems. Slow expansion means the appliance is being adjusted every few days NOT once a day. Good luck!

Without pictures it is difficult to advise you but it sounds like a visit to your favorite orthodontist it in order.  They can let you know what your options are to get the smile you desire.  Good luck!
