Tough question: Your orthodontist should be able to give some sort of a prediction or time table. But it depends on your cooperation and also the severity of the crowding to begin with.

Depends: Treatment time varies based on the extent of your malocclusion. You should be asking the orthodontist who will be treating you what time frame s/he has anticipated for your care.
