Hi..There are no side effects. Age is not the limit. It starts from 12 years and till 45 years also it is fine. But, bone, gums and teeth need to be strong. Duration is usually six months to one year based on case. It is the best natural way for treatment of teeth alignment.

Hi sir.. there is no Side effect of orthodontic treatment.. you can get the badly shaped teeth corrected by composite tooth colored filling material or ceramic crowns.. and then start with orthodontics.. results would be great but treatment time would take around 1.5 to 2 yrs. . And then retainer should be worn for next six months.. kindly plan and get it diagnosed by an orthodontist.. regards
