Cavities are most commonly seen either in the grooves on the biting surfaces of teeth or in between the teeth.
To access this area of decay a Dentist uses either a drill or laser from the biting surface and makes a hole just large enough to remove the diseased tooth structure.
The hole is then filled with either a tooth colored plastic material (composite) or a silver colored metal (amalgam).
It is perhaps the most common procedure a Dentist performs.

Every person’s mouth is different, depending on how crowded your teeth are, jaw relationship of upper jaw to lower jaw, etc.
Invisalign is great option if you are compliant and you are an appropriate candidate. The trays must be worn 22 hours a day. It is easier to take the trays out and clean your teeth than with the traditional brackets and wires. Sometimes tooth movement is more predictable with traditional braces.
Unfortunately you want an answer that I can’t really give without seeing you. I would recommend you see an Orthodontist or a Dentist who does Invisalign for a consultation and ask for their recommendation as to which mode of treatment you will be best suited to.
Good Luck!
