Snowflakes: Malocclusions are like snowflakes, no two are exactly alike. Average time in treatment in the office of a fully qualified Orthodontic Specialist is about 18 months, which means there are longer and shorter treatment times depending on the malocclusion. Know that 1) GP's take a bit longer to resolve malocclusions, and 2) the Damon Appliance does not provide the magic, the Orthodontist does.

Ask orthodontist: Treatment times vary on a case-by-case basis. Therefore, only your orthodontist most likely can project an estimated treatment time.
