36 years old with open bite. Would Invisalign fix this, would I need attachments, and how long would it take? (photo)

 The answer is YES and the long term success rate of correcting open bites with Invisalign  is better than any other method.  Research has shown that the recurrence rate (the person’s open bite after correction going back to an open bite again) for the correction of open bites is greater with Traditional wire and bracket orthodontics or Orthognathic Surgery than with Invisalign.  To date the recurrence rate for Invisalign in the correction of Open Bites is very low.  Dental scientists do not know exactly why this is true.  Currently it is theorized that what keeps an open bite open is tongue thrusting/ tongue habit and Invisalign over the course of treatment causes a change in the position of the tongue during swallowing and breaks the habit of tongue thrusting because it uses aligners and retainers  that have a margin on the tongue side near the gumline that retrains your tongue.  There are many factors involved in how you might be treated and I would only use an Invisalign provider who has significant experience and feels confident in treating your situation.
