Is It Okay to Get Invisalign on a Dead Tooth?

Lebanonite
ok so about 2 years ago i had my front tooth knocked completely out. it was successfully re implanted and hasnt changed color but i am suspecting it will need a root canal sooner or later. i am scheduled to get invisalign. I told ortho about the tooth and he said it is possible that the tooth wont move because it is technically dead, so he said we can go ahead with the invisalign and move all of the teeth except the front one and see an oral surgeon after treatment to see about moving the front
