Ortho aligners like Invisalign or clearalign can be used to correct some orthodontic conditions. However they are not suitable for all malocclusions. You will have to get some X-rays done and consult an orthodontist to see if your condition is correctable using Invisalign etc
Health Tips
These are much more expensive than regular braces. The cost may be upward of 1.5 -2 lakhs. Do ask your doctor about other options like lingual braces or tooth coloured braces.
