What kind of dental treatment fixes a cross bite?

Orthodontics: Unilateral or bilateral maxillary expansion with oral appliances by a competant orthodontist is the best way to proceed.

Cross bite: The best plan is a complete evaluation by an orthodontist to identify the issues and the best course of action.

Bridges and Implants: For adults that are missing teeth or have broken restorations, cross bites may be eliminated with fixed bridges, crowns and implants. It is just a matter of using a well constructed diagnostic wax-up and then testing the new bite with a well made temporary before making the final restoration.

Ortho surgery crowns: It depends on where the crossbite is but it can be fixed with surgery, braces or getting restorations like crowns put on your teeth. You can also consider not correcting it.

Braces: It depends on how severe the cross bite is and the mis-alignment of the upper and lower jaw bones. A mild cross bite can be fixed with braces but a more severe crossbite may require jaw surgery and braces. Consult an orthodontist.

Orthodontics: If at all possible, orthodontic treatment to correct malocclusions such as a crossbite would be best corrected with orthodontic treatment by a skilled orthodontist. There are exceptions, but that would be my first choice. It is best to consult with an orthodontist as to your options & also run by the recommendations of your orthodontist with your own general dentist. We all work together for you!

Orthodontics: Is them most common way but sometimes it can be done prosthetically with a bridge or crowns. Orthodontic treatment is the preferred method when applicable.

Expansion: If dental cross bite, cross bite fixed w braces. If skeletal cross bite , upper jaw must be expanded. Easy in kids (do as early as possible), harder in adults. Need both expander and surgery. If upper jaw too narrow and teeth pushed out it will permanently damage the tooth-supporting (alveolar) bone, so make sure you see a qualified orthodontic specialist for evaluation and rx.
