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.

Depends on situation: Treatment times vary depending on the position of your teeth. Your orthodontist or dentist can answer that question.

Ask the orthodontist: Typical orthodontic treatment times vary from 6 months to 2 1/2 years depending on the complexity of the misalignment of teeth and jaws.
