Question

Does Invisalign work on crowded teeth?

I want to get an Invisalign but I'm not sure if it will work for me. I'll be 15 in June and my teeth aren't really bad, they are just crowded. I would like to get an idea of how long it might take and how much it will cost compared to regular braces. Thank you.

My teeth on the bottom are crowded in front but not in back. And on my top teeth I have a small over bite. Do you know how much of the aligners I will need.
