Lower teeth: This can't be answered without a clinical exam and X-rays to determine why you are having pain, and the position and condition of your teeth, whether there is generalized crowding, your bite, etc. See a dentist for an exam and recommendations for treatment.

Prognathism : When you view your profile dots your lower jaw and chin appear to be prominent? If so, the inward tipped lower teeth are but a sign of a complex jaw problem. You should have a consultation with an orthodontist to see what can be done without wearing regular braces.

Yes: Clear Aligners may help. There are other removable appliances that can correct very slight malalignment. Know, however, that nothing works as well as braces, nothing. See Dr Sara Altamash Kahn in Karachi for expert opinion.
