If your roots are short due to previous braces etc then you can have your dentist slow down the tooth movements with Invisalign. But generally its such a gently tooth movement that we dont normally see any root shortening during the treatment.
While nothing is without risk, the odds are better with invisalign in this situation. Slow and steady will not usually make the short roots shorter, but they still COULD.
