And what are the advantages of having a wide pallet?

Associated with wider jaw and the wider it is the more visible the teeth and amount becomes during a smile

Not that important tbh

It's quite important for proper tongue posture. I have trouble holding my tongue on the palate due to its lack of width.

Basically the narrower the palate gets, the more v-shaped it becomes and teeth become crowded which blocks the airway and leads to deformed faces.

Cavemen used to have palates way wider than people today so they could do intense physical activity all while breathing through the nose

So you can tell the width based off teeth count? When I fully smile, for my top row of teeth I can see from 2 teeth past my canines to the opposite canine + 2 teeth. Don’t know if that means anything or is useless info

I knew that I wasn’t the only one who would always notice her wide af mouth in every movie lmao. Does your lip width have anything to do with it or just how much teeth show during smiling.

Generally speaking, yes.
Yeah if that's the case then it's good
What about the lower set of teeth ?

The wider your lips are, the more developed your face/maxilla is.

Exactly this. Your lips get wider as your mouth and palate expands

Interesting. Didn’t know about that. Is there a graph or certain width length that meets a certain development level or. I think mine is maybe slightly above average, not sure

Haven't heard of such a graph. I would be interested too. Mine are definitely underdeveloped.
Oh and by the way I think your chin width is partly determined by the width of your lower teeth

@tallcel
 
You measure you inter molar width with a caliper. I also measure my pre-molar because that's where most of my movement has occurred the past few months of mewing.
 
Will invasalign fix my narrow palate? I'm getting it soon.
 
Can you fit all the tongue up without breathing discomfort?
