Hello,
For a better smile and for smile correction, consider braces with extraction if recommended by your orthodontist.
Do visit your near by orthodontist for radiographic and clinical examination and treatment planning.

Good afternoon,
Yes you can undergo orthodontic treatment, the teeth are not crowded they are Proclined ( forwardly placed ).
It will take most probably 12-15months as per your condition of dentition. For that doctor will take all necessary x rays and guide you accordingly
Next Steps
You need to consult an orthodontist

Might need extraction if the teeth are severely proclined and no space.
As your age is 20 years it is better to go for the orthodontic treatment as early as possible.
Next Steps
Visit your dentist

You dont have overcrowding its called proclination of teeth where teeth are tilted or forwardly placed as i could see in images. In such cases extraction is considered if this proclination is severe and we dont have enough space behind. But in mild cases it can be corrected without extraction but for that you must visit an orthodontist which will suggest some xrays for further treatment
