Yes or no: Canines or any other teeth can be placed above or below the plane of occlusion depending on cosmetics and necessary function.

Yes: Usually the canines are down slightly lower than the rest of your teeth (on the upper) (or higher on the lower). This would be an idea situation, which can be accomplished with braces or invisalign.

Depends on degree: The more out of position teeth are, the greater the indication for braces rather than invisalign. Your orthodontist is qualified to answer this question for you, so go for an exam.
