Sunny & Straight Smiles: Why is Summer a Great Time to Start Invisalign?

Most folks see summer as a chance for fun in the sun, not trips to the local orthodontist. Still, the fact remains that this season is a suitable time to start the Invisalign process. Getting (and using) aligners in the coming months comes with numerous perks, making them well worth considering. Your Richardson practice can even prove that claim with evidence. So, keep reading to learn four great reasons for starting Invisalign this summer.

No Limits to Summer Foods

For starters, Invisalign doesn’t put restrictions on summer foods. You could enjoy all your favorites during treatment without any problems!

This reward stands in strong contrast with metal braces. Since the latter uses brackets and wires, it often causes seasonal staples to get stuck in your teeth. The result is an increased difficulty eating hot dogs, hamburgers, BBQ, and so on. Thankfully, Invisalign consists of clear trays; you can remove your aligners before having your summer meals.

Low-Stress Adjustment

If you got Invisalign this summer, you’d also enjoy a low-stress adjustment. Your treatment would then be smoother and easier than ever.

Don’t forget: Invisalign trays take time to get used to. Since aligners move teeth by applying pressure, they can make your smile feel sore at first. That said, you can quickly adjust to aligners’ effects when you start wearing them in the summer. This season features fewer school and work tasks, allowing for relaxing days that let you acclimate without worry.

Flexible Appointment Times

A summer of Invisalign is great when you want flexible appointment times. After all, it’s pretty simple to book visits in June, July, and August.

Here in the U.S., summer isn’t as jam-packed as other seasons. It offers more time away from work, school, and other big obligations. As a result, it provides breathing room in your schedule for potential Invisalign visits that won’t conflict with other matters. Summer sessions with dentists are also easy to come by; your dental provider should have many times available.

Great Fall & Winter Results

Another benefit of summertime Invisalign is the timing of its results. Often, it’ll make your grin more aligned for the fall and winter holidays.

An Invisalign treatment typically takes several months, depending on the individual patient. It follows that starting one in summer should yield some good results by fall and winter. In other words, your friends and family could see you have straighter teeth during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and similar festivities. That outcome would only make the end-of-year holidays all the more joyous.

Since summer is a great time to start Invisalign, don’t delay. See your dental provider for treatment in the coming days!
