Hello, XXXXX
Thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
This is Dr. Dipti XXXXXXX here to answer your query.
As you are mentioning that you have malaligned teeth, you have to go for orthodontic treatment to get them corrected.
You should go for fixed braces, which will take 8 to 12 months depending upon the conditions of your jaw, jaw spaces, in between tooth spaces and even the degree of irregularities of your teeth.
There are different options like normal braces, white colour or ceramic braces even colourful braces, you can go for anyone of them.
Regarding the discomfort, they are problematic during the initial phase as they put pressure on tooth during movements and you have to make some changes in your diet as well. But it is temporary problems, nothing to worry about that.
All the braces take same amount of time.
Hope it will help you.
Thank you.
