Ask your doctor: Treatment times are completely variable dependent upon your individual needs. There is no way someone can provide a specific answer without a complete examination of your situation. Contact a licensed orthodontic specialist to get their opinion.

Varies: How wide is the diastema? Is there a heavy tag of tissue between the teeth? Will closing the space open spaces elsewhere? Will gum surgery, bonding, veneers, or crowns be required to help stabelize the teeth.? Will sliding top teeth together cause bite problems with the teeth in the opposing arch? See an orthodontic specialist for advise on treating this complex situation.
