I am 21 yrs old & had a thumb-sucking issue that gave me a cross bite. I also have bit of overcrowding on my bottom teeth from wisdom teeth that were removed I like my cross bite and I don't feel like its too severe, but my ortho told me I needed jaw surgery. Can I keep my overbite and still straighten my teeth with invisilign? It never bothered me, I don't grind my teeth & stopped sucking my thumb. I want this for cosmetic reasons (ortho said surgery wasn't a priority, my smile is ok as is)
