Correcting 8mm Anterior Overjet with Increased Overbite with Invisalign? (photo)

kumar08
I'm 32yrs male with overjet and overbite Class 2 malocclusion and crowding. no functional problems yet, concern is more aesthetic. Orthodontics proposed invisalign as well as ceramic braces. I am told extraction of upper premolar with invisalign can push back the upper arch and fix the malocclusion,crowding, others say invisalign can't do- need wire braces, if not surgery.Can upper teeth be pushed back removing overjet through invisalign; with or w/o extraction?Do I need all wisdom removal?
