Ask Dr. Blourchian: What does Invisalign® have to do with my oral health?

When considering treatment options with Dr. Allen Blourchian, patients often ask us how Invisalign treatment is so different than braces. Well, there are more reasons to smile about Invisalign at New Image Dentistry than you may know. Invisalign is a series of removable aligners that are nearly invisible. Besides straightening your teeth, Invisalign can improve your oral health. Here’s how Invisalign can help improve your health, while shaping your beautiful smile:

Healthy gums: Straight teeth allow a close fit for gums. This lessens the gum stress that is caused by crowded or widely spaced teeth, thus also reducing red and swollen gums.

Easy cleaning: Invisalign is removable, therefore brushing and flossing is easier and you are able to maintain a healthy mouth. These habits are vital to avoiding tooth decay, plaque, and gum disease.

Improved speech and chewing: Properly-aligned teeth don’t have the discomfort or compound speech impediments that can be caused by crowded teeth or a deteriorating jawbone.

If you have any questions about Invisalign, just ask Dr. Blourchian the next time you’re in for an appointment. Or, you may post your question on our Facebook page or give us a call at 615.591.4490!

Happy Thursday,

Dr. Blourchian and team

  1. Invisalign has helped both me and my cousin in getting our beautiful smiles. Back then, I dread the thought of having braces. But thanks to this, I don't need to worry about food getting stuck in my teeth and low confidence issues. My dentist (Germantown, TN) gave me sets of trays, and eventually, he straightened out my teeth.

    So for those people who'd like to get the best smile without the troubles of braces, ask for Invisalign from the dentist. Memphis, Tennessee and other cities have started to offer this amazing dental innovation.
