Need advice

Here's all you need to know:

I had bad oral habits as a child due to lackluster education given by parents

I brush 2x a day with toothpaste that contains fluoride

Dental issues seemed to have caused major asymmetries

Dental issues seem to stem from bad tongue posture and sleep hygiene

What I want to know:

How do I address the cavities that are beginning to prosper on both my intact molars... Do I keep brushing 2x a day or 3x? I feel like my dentist isn't telling me enough/and is trying to sabotage maybe

If I use another type of toothpaste... maybe like hydroxipatite, while it help whiten my teeth? Or clean better?

If I were to use a palatal expander, how good would that be for my airway? And how good would it be in preparation for braces (or in combination)?

If I extract my heavily damaged mandibular first molars, how would the rest of my teeth react, and how would it change my jaw?

Might add questions if ever

Thanks in advance.
