The probability of aligning your teeth would have to be determined via an orthodontic examination.  It is likely that a multidisciplinary approach may be needed to correct the alignment of your teeth and posture of you lip (orthodontics/oral surgery).

Sometimes the quick fix, such as composite veneers,  Will give you just that, a quick fix. You may want to consider a more comprehensive approach and treatment that orthodontics can provide.  Once you have use your natural teeth to give you the best aesthetics possible, you may then want to look at adjunctive procedures Provided by a restorative dentist to give you that finishing touch.

 It would be more practical to get in Vizza line for all of your teeth. From a financial standpoint It would cost you just as much to correct your lower teeth with Invisalign as it would to correct your upper and lower teeth.  Orthodontic correction of your lower teeth alone may not allow them to meet properly with your upper teeth. If upper and lower teeth are not meeting properly, 

Treatment options to correct crowded (crooked) teeth generally include the movement of individual teeth. These options usually include braces or clear aligners. Braces are more or less visible depending on the color (silver, gold or clear). Clear aligners are virtually invisible and are removed while eating or tooth brushing. Surgical orthodontic procedures (orthognathic surgery) are primarily performed to correct jaw position problems such as "under bites" and other discrepancies, but not performed to correct individual tooth irregularities.

Thumb sucking habits can be very destructive to the appearance of the lower face. Finger and thumb sucking habits can cause deformation of the upper jaw and create speech defects. These habits usually continue throughout the night while a person is sleeping, thus placing hours of force on the teeth, lips and jaws. The best and most effective way to combat thumb and finger sucking is to wear a fixed (not removable) device placed by the dentist. The device can include rounded prongs, fits in the roof of the mouth and, if properly designed, is not conspicuously visible. The best part is it works if left in place until the habit is completely gone. If, by chance, the habit returns, the same device can be reinserted for an additional period of time. The earlier the device is applied the greater is the chance of having a successful outcome.
