I have a open bite and also a bit of a crossbite. I heard that Invisalign can fix open bites nowadays depending on the situation. I wanted to see if I am a candidate.

Invisalign, as you said, has improved a lot over the years and there are complementary appliances that could help correct an open bite. However, the cause of the open bite must be analyzed clinically and radiographically, sometimes orthognathic surgery is necessary. I would also analyze the possibility of consultation with a speech therapist since tongue thrusting seems to be one of the causes according to the photos. In summary, I would recommend first consultation with an orthodontist and consultation with a speech therapist for correction of tongue position.
