Yes you are a candidate!

You wouldn't have any problems finishing your case with Invisalign! You are probably going to still have the posteriior crossbite on the left side. I would consider using an appliance called a "quadhelix" to get some expansion first before you take your Invisalign records. Good Luck!

If "good enough" can be defined and is acceptable to you, then Invisalign may work. I hate to be pessimistic, but I don't think it is likely.
