Can Invisalign Bring my Top Canines Down or Do I Need Traditional Braces?

Lily-Bug
My teeth are primarily straight. My problem is that my upper canines are higher than the rest of my teeth. I need them to come down and then file the dramatic point off. I want that flat, straight across look and am wondering if Invisalign can achieve this or if traditional braces would be more appropriate?
