You can definitely go under Invisalign treatment with baby teeth in  your mouth... My question will be ,what is the plan for the teeth that are growing horizontal? If the treatment plan includes going after them surgically in order to get them into the mouth then Braces may be a better option for you... if the plan is to extract the impacted teeth and implants to replace them, Invisalign can for you.

You aren't an ideal Invisalign candidate but orthodontics could make a huge change in your smile. You might also be a candidate for veneers. Va good cosmetic dentist should be able to help you choose the best solution for your case.

Generally speaking, Invisalign is best used when all of the adult teeth have already erupted.  In my practice, we do not use Invisalign when baby teeth are still present or in the presence of impacted teeth (adult teeth that have not come down).  I would make a consultation with a local board certified orthodontist in your area.  Good luck!
