I don't have underbite and overbite problem and my 4 teeth are little tilted towards front.
I had taken consultation from 2 doctor . first doc says within 6-7 months braces treatment ,my teeth will become good and teeth extraction is not required
Second doc says 2 teeth extraction is mandatory as there is no spaces in my teeth and braces treatment will take 10-12months.
I am confused which consultation is better and attaching pictures of teeth.
Please suggest me what is the right Sol. for my problem

Orthodontic treatment(braces) usually takes 6 to 24 months based on severity.
Your photos though not very clear looks like your front upper and lower front teeth are proclined(clinical evaluation required to confirm this).
To take teeth inside, space is required and so extractions.
You need to consult an Orthodontist(braces specialist) for the exact treatment plan.
Next Steps
Get 2 diagnostic Digital Xrays (Required for all the orthodontic cases)
1. Lateral Cephalogram
2. Orthopantomogram
Consult a few efficient Orthodintists Like Dr Venkatesh Garla and Dr Karan Ganapathy.

Health Tips
Request you to kindly carry along any associated records that you may already have while you come in for the consult.
Hello visit as we need the side profile picture. And if you don't have the complaint friendly placed teeth the tilts in teeth can be corrected in short time and visit can diagnose and suggest you better.
The pictures you attached are not sufficient. And we need a proper assessment inside and outside of mouth with face and chin to assess better. And jaw assessment will need your X-rays opg and lateral ceph.
The duration or method varies between different specialists. Moreover treatment is always a little unpredictable and may take more or less time based on your response too.
I suggest you to take a practo consult if you desire. Else you can choose either of them as they both may be right in their own ways. Ortho treatment even simple ones take 6-9 months to complete in all aspects as there’s always a period of retainer etc
Next Steps
Ask more details and I always suggest you to give your needs and thoughts clear with doctor so they can also tell their limitations if any. It’s your body at last and your must take the Final decision
