A. it is very unlikely that the crowns will be chipped by the aligners, I use invisible braces on patient with crowns with no problems. I do make my patients aware that there is a small chance that the margins of the crown can show around the gum area after treatment is completed and may have to consider replacing the crowns if necessary
