I think given where you are starting from you will get the best result from braces, specifically your smile arc (your teeth following... more

Invisalign may work for you

Based on your photos, Invisalign may be able to help correct the crowding and overbite. My main concern is how rotated your lower left canine is--- and this may be a difficult tooth for Invisalign to straighten to an ideal position. Canines have the longest roots and can take longer for Invisalign to move. This may slow down Invisalign treatment, or this tooth may not be able to be rotated to an ideal position with Invisalign. I would recommend you have an... more
