Well, my teeth were not this crowded, I have some bite issues that didn't seem to raise a lot of red flags with me or my previous dentists, and still I am going to be in braces about a year and a half using some of the most modern treatment available, and the cost is in the upper single-digit thousands.
It's fantastic you will be starting ortho in a few days! Let us know how it goes!

The twisted teeth aren't really a big issue, that won't take a long time to sort out. What could take a long time is if there are any bite issues. Do you have bite issues? Can you post a photo when you are biting down?
Your teeth are shaped nicely and are really white so you will have a great result!
Good luck!

Don't worry, they will take xrays and have a good look at how things are lining up and you will be good to go.
