Good Candidate for Invisalign Express? (PICS)

As you can see, my teeth are pretty good as it is. Since I was 8ish (I'm 23 now) my upper lateral incisor has been pretty bad. I want to get it fixed in as short a time possible.
The only other problem I have would be my two center bottom teeth which are a bit crooked but I'm not worried about them right now. I just want to fix that ONE tooth.
Opinions?

For a "quick fix" I would go with traditional braces. That lateral does have a ways to travel. PLUS to make room for it, they'll have to move molars backwards a bit to get room to move it into position.
Everything I've heard/read about invisalign, it's not a quicker solution.
Traditional brackets...perhaps 6 month system, could have you done, cosmetically, in just about 6 months. You really need to go have a consult ( in the US it is FREE!!) to see what all of your options are.
Your teeth are really pretty and once that tooth is in position, your smile will be stunning!

Fwiw, I have almost perfectly aligned teeth (trying to attach ClinCheck, but can't). They are almost perfectly straight, but I notice (and sometimes in photos) that my one front tooth is *slightly* crooked (misaligned). Just to move it a few mms, it's taking 9 months, and 18 aligners.
I don't know a lot about Invisalign, but my understanding is that it takes a loooong time to move a small distance...[/list]
