Is There a Palate Expander That Can Expand Only One Side of Your Palate? (photo)

Asked By:JW33320 in New England

When I was younger I slept on my face in a way that put a lot pressure on my left side jaw and temple. It gave me a crossbite which was treated with a palate expander. However, I continued to sleep in the same position and my face bowed out on my right side leaving my left side deficient with asymmetry that is fairly noticeable in my jaw/face. I was wondering if there is a type of Palate Expander device that could be used to push/pull my left side out to match the right side better? Thanks
