Never too old for braces

Why do you feel you are too old for braces? If it is a social/vanity thing, then perhaps (only you can say for sure!).

Invisalign is a poor choice for a bad overbite

You are never to old for braces. I do not have records to confirm the diagnosis, but if you overbite is really severe this will require a surgical lower jaw advancement to correct your problem in conjunction with orthodontics treatment. There are some esthetic option for braces. I recommend consulting a board certified orthodontist, who has a good surgical background, for advice.

Invisalign for overcrowding and overbite

I have used Invisalign Treatment for a lot of patients with overcrowded teeth and who also have a deep bite (overbite).  I think it's a great option for you - set up a consultation appointment with your Invisalign-providing orthodontist or dentist.
