Ask the orthodontist. It depends on the case.
Depends
It depends on the amount of the space present. Spaces get closed pretty fast.
That depends on what else all needs to be addressed with the treatment, which teeth, and how far they need to be moved. Many front teeth gaps and crowding can be corrected with in 6 months.
Probably just a few months. Depends on lots of factors. But also as you close that gap, it opens other space
It varies. A consult with a dentist can give you that information.
