I just had a consultation for invisalign to fix 1mm cross bite and 2mm overjet and slight crowding (fairly minor according to orthodontist)
It costed parents 5k usd (3k was covered)
I talked to orthodontist there who had 40 years of experience in everything included jaw surgery. Told me my jaw was pushed back by 2.5mm and they wouldn’t recommend surgery since it is minor.
I asked them about foward growth of the jaw and they told me it is impossible to project the mandible After the age of 13 even 11-12 is the median limit. She said the bones are fused by then and nothing would work except surgery.
