Okay I seemed to have gotten a decent picture of Asher’s teeth. Do I need to worry about his crowding?

No, you don't need to worry. Try to keep on top of brushing, etc, and that crowding will increase the chances that he may develop some periodontal disease around those lower incisors with age, but with proper dental care its unlikely there will be any major issues at all with this. Thank you for asking Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
