Braces treatment depends upon the type of maloclussion you are suffering from. At time orthodontic treatement is done only after the jaw has attained its maximum size while at times the braces can be put at infant stage. So, i would suggest you to visit an orthodontist and get the maloclussion diagnosed. And after you are done with your braces treatment, your dentist will fix retainers (removable or fixed depending upon your comfort). Retainers prevent the teeth from coming to the previous original state.For more info on orthodontic treatment visit the link.....http://www.identalhub.com/dental-how-long-adults-have-to-wear-braces-835.aspx
