Multiple Deep Pocket range from 5mm to 8mm okay for Invisalign?

Question

Hi Dr, I have multiple deep pockets range from 5mm to 8mm and also bone loss. Am I suitable for Invisalign? Than you!

.Better than braces but you really need to address the periodontal disease  Otherwise, the  next straight teeth will be in on your denture.

I would see a periodontist (gum specialist) if I were you.  You don't want to move teeth with active gum disease occurring.  I have used Invisalign on a few patients that had pocketing (don't recall depth though) and bone loss with Invisalign but didn't have active disease.
