Will invisalign or conventional braces make my overjet worse?

opigirl
I have a 6 mm overjet 50% overbite and crowding. Class 2 maloclussion. I do not want extractions or surgery-this brings limitations to correcting overjet and overbite. Is their a possibility the overjet can get worse if I use conventional braces or invisalign? I want to correct the crowding and bring the overjet down to a 3 or 4 from a 6 not make it an 8! One orthodontist said without extractions the overjet could get worse. He also suggested invisalign over conventional braces. HELP!
