Hello, Thank you for consulting with HCM.
Actually the time for straightening of tooth by braces depends upon the condition of irregularities in teeth, in your condition it can take 1 to 1.5 year.
as braces put some pressure on the tooth to pull them in to there place, so there will be pain initially but not very severe.
in market there are many toothpaste available for whitening of teeth, but all the effects are temporary.
Better you visit a good dentist for treatment.
Hope it will help you.
