Yes it can fix your premolars.
Sometimes elastics are used to pull them down into the trays or aligners but attachments should work just fine. You have a gap in the front so there should be plenty of room for them. During the prework up they will be able to tell you more...

Am I a Candidate for INvisalign
It appears from the photos that you would be a candidate for invisalign although a complete evaluation of your mouth, gums and bite would be required to make the final determination. You would not require any extractions from what I can see in the picture. The teeth that you were talking about were are canines, not premolars. Hope this information helps. I would consult with a dentist who has experience with invisalign to determine your treatment options.
