Greetings Looking at the opg provided...it looks like lot of retained milk teeth are there (all four 2nd pre molars are by birth missing instead milk/baby teeth are retained and have not fallen off )and 1 impacted tooth inside the upper jaw on the right side. Estimating a treatment time by just looking just at this xray is very difficult to say..a better call can be made only by looking at the patient clinically.
