You must get your crossbite corrected with orthodontic treatment as soon as possible. Untreated dental crossbites lead to functional problems of the jaws like TMJoint pain due to jaw shifts, excessive teeth wear due to parafunction in addition to jaw asymmetry and teeth alignment issues.
Ceramic braces can be self ligated or non self ligated . Self ligated braces ( advanced) are easier to clean, more comfortable and are faster in certain situations.
Ask for good quality ceramic braces from standard companies like 3M Unitek, Forestadent, Ormco, American Orthodontics...
Cheap Chinese brackets can hamper the outcome of orthodontic treatment..
