Is it possible to have invisible brace without the wisdom teeth fully grown out

Q. Dr Dr Moore I am thinking about getting invisible braces. I had braces when i was younger ( I am now 20) and i have recently noticed that one of my top wisdom teeth is coming out. Its not causing me any problems however I have noticed one of my teeth on my top front row has slightly moved on the side the wisdom tooth is growing through. Could this be related? I would like to straighten the tooth, it is possible to have the invisible brace without all the wisdom teeth fully grown out? Thank you for your time.

A. Late onset crowding is not caused by the wisdom teeth but occurs at the same time so it is often blamed for this. Invisable braces work well if you start early, you might also consider an inman aligner as it works quickly and is usually cheaper.
