Braces for Crowding
Hello,
I have severe crowding in my mouth. All the teeth are aligned in different direction, some are pointed too. I am 22 years old and want some advice to have braces or not. How long will I have to wear braces, how much it will cost me?

Usually the treatment time is between 1 yr-2 years depending on the severity.As you are 22 years old you can also think about Invisalign ( treatment without braces )as an option apart from regular braces.The treatment time more or less remains the same.
