Maybe, but: Be very careful about using invisalign or having any orthodontic work if you needed gingival grafting.

Yes, but...: Invisilign movement of teeth works after gum grafts and bone grafts. Depending on which one you have, it can be weeks or months.

I hope this helps.

Yes: Although it may be prudent to move the teeth first and then do the bone graft.
