If the crowding is minor and you are not looking for perfection, then yes.

James J. Awbrey IV, DMD answers: Is Invisalign a good substitute for braces?

I have crowding since my wisdom teeth grew in. I do not want regular braces to fix the problem. Is Invisalign a good alternative in place of braces?

If your crowding is minor across the lower front teeth and you have a relative good bite, then yes, Invisalign will work for you.  

If there are some bite issues and you are looking for perfection, then I would suggest fixed appliances (braces).

Best regards.
