Invisalign lite single arch treatment for mild lower arch crowding? Feasible for optimal alignment? (Photos)

Question

Initial consult summary: -no aligner needed on top arch due to perfect alignment. -0.5mm shaved off L + R sides of lat. low. incisors bilat. Invisalign targetting low. 4 front teeth. -Vivera retainer indefinietly. Concern is doing invisalign for single arch may create disharmonious bite e.g. post. open bite. However crowding is minimal so could my case be the rare few where single arch aligners are indicated?

In your situation it would be very difficult to align your lower teeth ideally without working on your upper arch. Both your arches are somewhat narrow and your upper teeth and lower teeth slant inwards. If you consider broadening both arches and creating space, the final result should be more ideal.
