I generally do not recommend Invisalign for children in mixed dentition. (They still have baby teeth). Invisalign does not offer the flexibility that you would have with braces and is not able to address many of the structural bite problems that you might find in younger children....
It depends on your goals - braces would likely provide a more ideal end result, where invisalign would work for some esthetic correction. I would recommend consultation with your local orthodontist to determine your options as there will be many factors to consider.
Invisalign was NOT designed to wear while eating. That being said, if you are in public, and do not wish to remove the invisalign aligner with the false tooth, then be very careful and eat only SOFT foods. Make sure you remove the aligner as soon as possible after the meal in order to rinse it...
