Summer Smiles Ahead: Why Start Invisalign Now?

Summer is a time for new beginnings, adventures, and creating lasting memories. It’s also an ideal season to take your first step on the road to a straighter, more confident smile with Invisalign! But what does the sunny season have to offer for new orthodontic patients? If you’ve been considering treatment with Invisalign, here’s why summer is the perfect time to get started.

1. More Flexible Schedule

Summer often means a break from the usual routine. Whether you’re a student on vacation or someone taking advantage of a quieter work schedule, summer often provides some flexibility. You’ll have more time to adjust to your new aligners and incorporate them into your daily routine.

2. Easier Adjustment Period

The first few weeks of wearing your aligners can involve some adjustment as your mouth gets used to their presence. Summer’s relaxed pace allows you to adapt to wearing and caring for your aligners without the pressure of a busy schedule. You can take your time getting comfortable with the process, making it a smoother transition.

3. See Some Progress Before Fall

Invisalign treatment can produce noticeable results in a matter of months. By starting in the summer, you might see significant progress by the time fall and the new school season arrives. This means you can return to classes with more confidence thanks to a straighter smile.

4. Enjoy Summer Eats

Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign aligners are removable, allowing you to enjoy all your favorite summer treats without restrictions. From barbecues to crunchy salads and chewy desserts, you won’t have to worry about food getting stuck in your appliance.

5. Practice Time Management with Entertainment

The summer months are filled with movies, festivals, and other entertainment that will give you an opportunity to practice your Invisalign schedule. To be successful, you’ll need to wear them for 20-22 hours per day. So, there’s no better test of your time management skills than a few get-togethers and nights out with your friends.

Summer offers a unique combination of flexibility, relaxation, and bursts of hectic fun, making it an ideal time to start your Invisalign treatment. So, if you want to take advantage of the sunny days ahead and start your orthodontic treatment, reach out to your dentist. They can help you get on track to a winning smile in no time!
