I just start my 1st tray today. I am already 31 years old. My tooth is embarrassingly overcrowded. It took me 2 years to finally decide to straight my tooth. At first I thought only metal braces can fix my tooth, but doctor told me that Invisalign will work for me.
Today the 1st tray is super easy. It only took less than 5 minutes to learn put it on and take it off. No pain. Just a little bit weird when I speak, sounds like something is in my mouth. I hope nobody will notice that.

:D. I think you'll be waiting at least 6 aligners before you will see any real changes, and likely more like 8. Crowding cases are difficult because they have to make room in your mouth first, which usually involves moving back teeth. You may have some very minor movement in the front, since your tooth configuration is unique, but please don't get discouraged if you must wait many trays before you see a difference. :)
HenryZ (had to have a tooth pulled, he'd nearly done)
Mil ou's crowding is mainly on the bottom and it's pretty moderate, but there is an overlap tooth.
humbleoracle has pretty severe overcrowding in the bottom jaw
knitsew also has an overlapped tooth in her bottom jaw
JLD_Sail also pretty moderate
kellynyc16 is mostly on the bottom
Dante555 has severe overcrowding on the bottom but nearly none on the top
Sunluvva's crowding is pretty severe
and finally, both AreYouKiddingMe and Cazzieboo have very severe overcrowding. mlb502, one of our RealFriends, started with pretty crowded teeth as well, but she's nearly done after a long time.
jbranchfield is our newest community member before you, I think, with significant crowding.
