And what else?: Average time in orthodontic treatment is 18 months for kids, a little longer for adults. Normal overbite is 2mm, so a 3mm overbite is not very challenging. Depends on what else has to be done. See an orthodontic specialist, not a generalist who dabbles in tooth movement, for a qualified answer.
