How long do gaps take to close with braces?

I am a 25 year old male. I want to know how long do gaps take to close with braces?

It depends on the size of the gap. Average is about 6 months to a year for "normal" sized gaps. Obviously larger gaps take a bit longer. You can't rush the process or you will damage the tooth and its supporting structures. 
It depends on the size of the gap. Your best bet is to see a dentist or orthodontist who does Invisalign/braces. Many will give you a free consult.
