I want to get Invisalign, but not sure if my situation is too complex? (photos)

Question

I Have an overbite and a open bite. I usually push my jaw forward so my overbite isnt noticeable. I have been advised to get all 4 of my wisdom teeth taken out and then i would go for braces or invisalign. Im not sure if i have a weak chin i was hoping that once my overbite and open bite are corrected my chin would look normal. What do you think the best course of action would be. Please help.

There are many treatment options.  So the optimal treatment route is for you to see a dentist then referred to an Oral Surgeon AND an Orthodontist to evaluate you for orgnathic surgery and then braces.  2-3 years and $50K out of pocket cost later, you'll have your amazing bite!  Now that option is a bit unrealistic due to cost and time required for treatment.  Your case can be treated with or without surgeon based on your wishes and what you and your dentist come up with.  Invisalign alone will "improve" your situation, but it will have it's limitation.  Treatment alone with Invisalign will be the least cost and will improve your bite and appearance a bit.  Go see an Invisalign dentist/orthodontist and consult with at least 5 and see what they all say and then go from there.
