Alignment is almost done. Your orthodontist would start retraction. It would take a year to 1.5 years depending on how fast your teeth move, how regular you are and how good you maintain the brackets without breaking them

It may need approximately 8-15 months. But decision depends upon clinical examination, x rays and your actually working doctor. These treatments need time. Kindly follow your orthodontist's instructions and recommendations.

Hello sir,
Usually a ortho treatment completes by 8- 12 months recently. And it might take 2 to 3 months for settling phase followed by retention for 6 months ( which is after removal of braces).
Next Steps
I think you have undergone extraction, so after those space closes, it will take 2 to 3 months for your treatment completion
Health Tips
Please don't force to remove before your treatment completes or force to finish it early as it might cause bone loss and your lower front tooth becomes mobile. Hope this helps you sir
