Timing on starting Invisalign trays
In general you should start wearing your trays immediately upon receiving them. Have you discussed this with your doctor? I would suggest asking him/her. If you wait too long (longer than, say, a week) the trays might be hard to put on and might be painful initially.

Aligners are normally used ASAP
Certainly discuss this with your dentist or orthodontist, as they may have a specific plan or sequence, but as a general rule, as soon as aligners are given they should be worn.

How long before I can start after extractions?
Questions like yours puzzle me! It certainly should have been discussed with your doctor before the teeth were even extracted! It mostly depends on how tight the first aligner is on the teeth on either side of the extractions. If there are attachments on these teeth then you have to be carefull
