Hi practo user,
Usually the treatment takes 1- 1.5 years and not more than that. But retainers will be placed , which might be temporary or permanent depending on the condition during braces removal.
Next Steps
For more details you can contact your orthodontist .
Health Tips
Please keep up your appointment timings regularly and avoided breaking the braces, these both will extend your treatment time. Also maintain good oral hygiene.
Hope this helps you.

It usually takes 1.5 years for a simple case where the teeth can be straightened just by using brackets and wires.Metal brackets and ceramic brackets function similarly,it's just that ceramic brackets are more esthetic.If it requires use of elastics or micro implants,the treatment duration increases.Hope this was helpful.
