Usual time span for orthodontic treatment is about approx one year to one and a half year depending on case . Depending on the data you provided , time of one and a half year would be close to accurate . If you try to force your Dentist to hurry up then results might not last long and there could be relapse of the treatment. Orthodontic treatment needs some patience and with patience results will be most satisfactory.

Treatment generally lasts for 1 and half years. Gaps tend to be closed by 8 - 10 months or so, however complete treatment needs to be continued thereafter. It varies from case to case. Speak to your Orthodontist.
