Is open bite caused by thumb sucking treatable?

Q. Because when I was younger i sucked my thumb for too long my bite is not completely right and my arch is gapped. I can sometimes see people looking at my teeth when I am talking to them and I will always cover my mouth when I smile or lauyght. My teeth are an ambarassement so can invisalign help me?,

A. Hello,it depends how serious your  open bite. I would advise a consultation with a dentist
