Does Invisalign Move the Roots of Your Teeth Like Traditional Braces?

emiann
Is it true that Invisalign does not move the roots of your teeth, like traditional braces do? Is it true that you would have to wear your retainers after your teeth are straight, from Invisalign, for practically ever, less your teeth go back to their former positions?
