Braces treatment is a very safe treatment and doesn't damage the teeth. It usually takes 12-18 months for that. Stains on ur teeth can be removed by scaling and polishing

Hey there! It mostly takes more than a year to fix crooked teeth. The time duration varies depending upon the severity of crowding of teeth. Stains on your teeth can be removed by professional cleaning. Visit your nearest dentist for detailed information.
