Im 15 and Ive a pretty large space in my front top teeth can i have invisalign to close the gap

Q. Hi Dr. Caplan. Over the years I have had a pretty large space in my two front top teeth followed by smaller gaps behind that until my canines. On the bottom however there are no gaps and they are perfectly aligned. I was wondering if you could inform me more about my position and how it would work with inisalign. ( I am 15 years old and have been told that braces might give me an underbite due to the spaces on top and none on bottom. Ot was agreed however that my top teeth would not go under the botom). I want to know if I can do invisalign instead. Please help me I really want people to stop teasing me.

A. I would not advise invisalign at your age as you may still be growing and invisalgn is not refined enough to deal with growth changes
