how long will i need braces?

i had braces when i was a child. from 5th-7th grade. after i got them taken off i wore my retainer for like 8 mos. since then, my wisdom teeth grew in...SIDEWAYS and pushed my teeth a little bit. three front teeth on the bottom row poke out just a little and my two front teeth moved up but you can barely tell. my teeth look completely straight unless i show u the bottom row. how long do u think i will need them. I'm 18 and i really don't want to have braces in college :'(

    Well it depends on how crooked the teeth are, but I say a year and a half
