Can I Close a 5mm Gap Between my Front Teeth? In How Much Time? (photo)

kmy
Hello, i'm 27 and i wish so much to finally have the smile of my dreams! But..i have a 5 mm gap and an over jet of also 5 mm.Biting doesn't bother me, the gap doesn't bother me that much as it bothers me the over jet. i wanna know if is possible to fix the over jet problem with Invisalign and to close my gap without the laser surgery for that muscle that is between my 2 front teeth (sorry i dont know the name of it, but i hope u get what i mean). I prefer to leave 1mm gap instead of surgery thx
