An Expert’s Guide from Fravel Brewer Orthodontics Q : How does Invisalign ® work , and is it as effective as braces ? A : Absolutely ! Invisalign ® moves teeth just like traditional braces — but without the brackets and wires . Instead , clear , removable aligners are custom - made to fit over your teeth . Every two weeks , you switch to a new set , gradually shifting your teeth into place . The aligners are shaped slightly differently with each change , which gently moves your teeth over time . Once treatment is complete , retainers help maintain your new smile . Q : Is Invisalign ® only for adults , or can teens and kids benefit too ? A : Invisalign ® is for all ages ! Many adults love its discreet design , but it’s also an excellent choice for teens who may feel self - conscious about wearing braces . Invisalign ® Teen even includes compliance indicators to help en - sure proper wear . Additionally , Invisalign ® First is designed for younger children ( ages 7 - 10 ) to guide jaw development early , set - ting them up for a smoother orthodontic journey as they grow . Q : What makes Invisalign ® different from traditional braces ? A : Invisalign ® offers a virtually invisible treatment option that’s also removable — meaning no food restrictions and easier brushing and flossing . Unlike metal braces , which use brackets and wires , Invisalign ® aligners are made of smooth plastic , making them more comfortable . Fravel Brewer Orthodontics 1291 Blackwood Ave .
