Is this enough of an overbite to warrant orthodontics?

Is this enough of an overbite to warrant orthodontics?

I believe I had some relapse in my bite due to not wearing my retainer consistently when I was a teenager (and then eventually stopping once it hurt too much). Is my bite deep enough that I should get it corrected?

Is this enough of an overbite to warrant orthodontics?

I had braces as a kid but was not consistent with my retainer, and eventually my teeth moved enough that it hurt too much to use.

I am not sure how much of an overbite I have and whether it is bad enough to cause issues for my teeth in the future - could someone please give me insight into this? My bottom teeth do not touch the roof of my mouth.

Also, I'm wondering if this would be something that Invisalign could be indicated for, if I end up needing orthodontics?

Thanks!
