It varies quite a bit from person to person but typically treatments can run from 6 months to 2 years. Although uncommon, some more complex alignments might require even longer.

2) How much does it cost?

Since it varies dramatically from treatment to treatment, it is best to call Dr.Writer and arrange for a free orthodontic evaluation. Typically, standard braces will be more affordable and treatments like Invisalign can run a bit higher.

3) Will it hurt?

With standard braces, having the brackets installed is not painful but like all orthodontic treatment, there is usually some discomfort for the first 24 to 72 hours as the teeth adjust to the pull of the appliance.
