Braces Vs Invisalign for Receding Gums

speech
What would be the best form of braces if you have receeding gums? My front of teeth sit out too much and the front 2 are crooked. I would be keen for a quick fix such as the Invisaligh Lite braces however I am unsure if this would be wise with my associated receeding gum problem. My 2nd option would be for the lingual braces (behing the teeth) however, I am put off by this due to the length of time it takes to see improvement. The tradational braces are not an option I want discretion!
