I had a root canal done and a crown put on because about 2 years ago I broke half of my tooth. Now I have a bit of a gap so I was wondering if I could braces or Invisalign ? Which one would be better for it ?

Braces alone will not fix your problem. To have this large of an overjet and overbite means you have several problems: your upper jaw is underdeveloped, your lower jaw is retruded, your teeth are more than likely crowded and you over close.There are basically three ways to fix your problem: 1)...
Can't tell much from that photo, would need to see how these upper teeth relate to the lower when you bite. Also, looks like the space for that implant is bigger than the corresponding tooth on the other side, which is OK if they intend to close it down after the implant is placed.
The easiest (and probably cheapest) way to straighten your teeth is extracting upper bicuspid teeth and then braces. HOWEVER, this is DEFINITELY NOT the best way.There is FAR more to straightening teeth that must be considered than simply moving teeth. You should ask all the doctors you are...
