Is it possible to perform Invisalign for gaps like mine while minimizing the amount of backward movement? (Photo)

Question

Hi! I had taken an impression of my teeth and have received a simulation of my course of treatment. The thing I like least is the way my teeth would be pulled back, which I am concerned would cause my lips to fall/curve inward and project less. I would prefer this to not happen, is it possible to modify the procedure to prevent this? If not what might other options be?

remember end result is not the same as shown in simulation. also your treatment is a partial correction (space present distal to canine) and also proper posterior occlusion will not come so there are chances of relapse.

now come to your concern: approx 2 mm retraction will happen, so it will not change your lips posture.

ADVICE: go for bonded retainer after treatment to prevent relapse.
