I plan to get braces soon and I've already had a consultation. But since then my teeth have shifted and I noticed that my top jaw is smaller than my bottom jaw. Also my teeth are uneven lengths and shapes due to my misalignment/crossbite.

Its advisable to do final/cosmetic bonding after braces treatment. in aligners also sometimes attachments are required for precise movement so in such condition it will damage bonding surface.
There is no requirement to having your teeth cleaned more frequently if you have "bondings." The recommendation is to have a regular cleaning every 6 months unless you have periodontal disease and require more frequent cleanings like periodontal maintenance.
You should be flossing your teeth when they have "bonding". When we place "bondings" or fillings on your front teeth, we make sure that the two teeth are not connected together so you are able to floss. If you're not able to floss between them, you should see your dentist.
