Can my cross bite be fixed without surgery? Not experiencing pain or headaches. 32 y/o (photos)

Can my Crossbite be fixed by just using a pallet expander+braces+rubber bands? If not, is surgery even worth it? My only concern is really aesthetic because fortunately so far (I’m only 32) my teeth haven’t caused jaw pain or headaches. Slight teeth wear but I’d consider veneers in the future if needed.
