I've had two orthodontists look at me, one says I can do Invisalign, the other says not to waste my money. My overjet is 8mm, protrusion is 8%. I only ever developed 13 teeth on the bottom, but have no gaps as a result. I'd be happy with a 50% improvement. Will invisalign work for me or do I need conventional braces?

You can certainly get your cavities filled while you are in aligners. Given this situation, I normally fill one or two cavities at a time to make sure aligners still fit properly afterwards rather than filling them all at once.
If they weren't included in your treatment then you can expect to pay $500-$750 in most areas. $1100 does seem a little high.
You can go to any Invisalign dentist to get Vivera retainers.
I would speak to your doctor about your concerns. Invisaling does have some limitations so be sure to ask if your result is due a treatment limitation or if you need some more aligners to get the correction that you desire.
