Delayed Start of Invisalign Treatment, Teeth Have Moved Slightly from Where They First Were when Impression Was Made?

toothsdayDec 8, 2012
I delayed the start of invisalign treatment, my teeth have crowded slightly since the impression was made and the whole left side of my upper teeth seem to have moved (in a straight line) closer to the centre of my mouth...

Will the treatment still work? Thank you
