Do the Rubber Bands and Invisalign Work for Correcting the Bite?

Denver1218
My daughter is 15 and needs braces. According to reports she has 4mm of upper crowding and about the right amount of space for the teeth in the lower arch. There is moderate "overbite". Our question is: will the invisalign with attached rubber bands (for the bite) work in this situation? I understand this is a new process and am wondering if it would be worth the try?
