If you need serious occlusal (bite) relationship changes Invisalign is probably not going to achieve that very predictably. Your teeth have probably erupted as they have worn and you most likely need a combination of intrusion along with prosthetic rehab. I have seen many of these cases tried and failed with Invisalign, some with catastrophic results. Invisalign is great for simple tooth rotation and tipping, closing gaps, etc. Sounds like you have bigger challenges then that.
