Aligning Teeth Before Orthognathic Surgery with Invisalign or Braces?

filmdirector1984
I'm deeply considering orthognathic surgery, however from what I understand braces are required to align the teeth before surgery. My question is could I use invislign braces instead of traditional braces before the surgery. If possible I would like to avoid being in braces for 2 years before the surgery actually happens.
