the duration would depend on the type and the extent of crowding. if the teeth are rotated than permanent/ semi-permanent retention may be required.

if possible pls. post the patients photos.

What effect will the age have on the prognosis?

yes. many adult patients would like to wear ceramic braces. the tooth movement could be a little slow.

it also depends on the degree of crowding , the space available etc.

Periodontal condition, presence of tooth wear in the form of attrition, abrasion , bone loss (vertical/horizontal) , number of missing/restored teeth are all important factors which should be considered before starting treatment whether it is an extraction case or a non-extraction one. Retention period after treatment also varies depending upon the severity of the treated malocclusion.
