Is Extraction Necessary Before Invisalign Treatment?

ninja neko
I have just one tooth out of line. It's the incisor on the right, and the root sits back. It's straight, not rotated because of the tooth.The rest of my top teeth are slightly off center, and are all a bit to the right. I'm about to be 16 years old. My wisdom teeth haven't grown yet.Do I need extractions? Does Invisalign work to move the crooked tooth forward, and straighten all of them to the middle?
