Should I Correct my 4 Mm Overjet Using Invisalign?

Nicole from Milwaukee
I’m a 40-year-old female, and I’ve been wearing my retainers religiously since completing my traditional braces, about 5 years ago. At the time my braces came off, my orthodontist explained that my 4 mm jet fell within “normal” range. Although my teeth look great, and I haven’t had any problems since the removal of my traditional appliances, should I consider invisalign to correct my 4 mm overjet? Or do you agree with this orthodontist’s opinion that 4 mm is acceptable?
