Like any other: Adjusting crossbites use the same type of brackets and treatment as most other orthodontic cases.

Hundreds: There are hundreds (if not thousands) of Orthodontic Appliances. Talk to your treating Dentist or Orthodontic Specialist and ask for a description.

Crossbite braces?: Normally, braces are "braces" regardless of the type of treatment. However, for some cases that are treating bilateral crossbites in the posterior of the mouth, a palatal expander is used. For adults, correcting bilateral crossbites in the posterior is a bit more challenging. If this is for an anterior crossbite, the braces are still braces.
