Invisalign is not the sort of orthodontic appliance that can be used to change bones. It can certainly improve the smile. You appear to have a rather narrow upper dental arch. Widening the "horseshoe" of teeth can make a bigger smile and at the same time, allow the upper front teeth to be brought in some and reduce the "overjet" of the teeth. A very substantial portion of my invisalign patients had a similar situation and ended up being quite happy with a nicely arranged overbite.
you have both over-jet( horizontal), and over-bite( horizontal).the invisalign appliance is able to reduce both of your problems, but you must be bewilling to wear elastics whenever you are wearing your aligners.however, if your problem is indeed of a skeletal nature , the chances of 100% correction are slim indeed

Invisalign and braces in general work best when a constant force is applied to the teeth causing tooth movement.  If you are not compliant in wearing your Invisalign trays constantly then I would not recommend them.  Your teeth will be in a state of shifting during the evening and...
