Orthodontic treatment usually lasts from 2 to 3 years, after that, you will wear retainers for another 2 years or so.

Depends on you case though. If your case is not very bad then orthodontic treatment can last only a year or so. More complicated cases do extend up to 4 years.

I had braces and I believe I had them on for about 3 years. My teeth weren't that crooked. I believe the average is around 3 years. If you think about what the braces are doing (moving your teeth), you really have to go slowly to avoid pain and breaking.
