Braces: It can be accomplished with either fixed or removable orthodontics. If you are in a hurry some cross bites can also be accomplished with crowns bridges or veneers.

Orthodontics : Braces or invisalign treatment can correct a cross bite. Invisalign works well if the cross bite is in the front and not so well in the back. Fastbraces is a quick, safe and effective way with braces.

Depends on severity: Braces treatment might correct a dental crossbite in only a few months; however, it depends upon the severity and nature of that crossbite. Simple, single tooth crossbites are much different from those involving multiple teeth or narrow upper jaws. An appointment with an orthodontic specialist is the best way to determine if aligners will correct yours.

Cause: Depends on cause. If dental crossbite, orthodontic treatment. If skeletal crossbite, orthopedic treatment. See a qualified Orthodontic Specialist who is adept at diagnosing and treating malocclusions.

Ortho Consultation: There are many techniques for correcting a crossbite in an adult. They all require orthodontic treatment along with other modalities (e.g. expander, elastics, springs, etc). I would suggest that you have an orthodontic consult for diagnosis and treatment options.
