3 Reasons Why You Should Start Invisalign Treatment in Summer

Have you thought about Invisalign to correct your crooked or gapped teeth? Have you been waiting for the perfect time to begin treatment? Instead of waiting for the stars to align, you should act right now! Believe it or not, summer is an optimal season to initiate Invisalign. Read on to learn three reasons why you shouldn’t put off achieving your own perfectly straight smile any longer.

Reason #1: You May Have a More Flexible Schedule and More Time to Adjust.

If you’re like many employees, you may have some paid time off stored and be more than ready to use it. Although much of that time will probably be dedicated to travel, you may find yourself with some down time at home as well. During this period, you can meet with your orthodontist, get started with Invisalign, and become used to wearing your aligners.

True, Invisalign aligners are much more comfortable than bulky metal brackets and wires, but these trays still have to move your teeth and the roots, and it may take a little bit of time to adjust to having your aligners in. This down time in your schedule can help make this time easier to handle when you return to a more normal schedule.

Reason #2: There Are Tons of Amazing Foods to Enjoy This Time of Year.

During summer, many delicious foods are more plentiful, including corn on the cob, burgers and juicy steaks, watermelon, ribs, and candy apples—just to name a few. With traditional braces, many of these foods are strictly forbidden because they can get caught in the brackets or even break one off, but Invisalign gives you the freedom to eat basically whatever you want! As long as take out the aligners while you eat and then brush and floss your teeth after you’re done, you have no food restrictions.

Reason #3: Many Social Events Happen in Summer.

One of the major drawbacks for traditional braces is that they are not exactly subtle. In fact, those who have braces can feel more self-conscious or embarrassed about their mouth during treatment.

With barbecues, beach parties, and neighborhood get-togethers, there’s no shortage of social occasions you’ll probably want to attend. When you straighten your teeth with Invisalign, the aligners are perfectly clear and do not draw attention to themselves. In fact, those around you probably won’t even see them. As a result, you can socialize, talk, laugh, and smile without worrying about judgement from others.

Take advantage of this special time and begin Invisalign! By the time summer rolls around next year, you could be done with treatment and have a perfectly aligned smile to show off. The first step is meeting with your orthodontist, so contact them now to get the process started.
