Invisalign Candidacy- Missing Molars

Adult Braces
I have (2) missing molars (top right) located immediately before my wisdom tooth, which has already been extracted. Because of the missing molars, there has been some very slight spacing in the (2) teeth on either side of the canine. Am I a suitable candidate for invisalign or are you required to have no missing teeth at all? In addition, I plan to get (2)implants in place of the missing molars,once the teeth have been straightened. Any information is appreciated. Thank you in advance!
