Straight Smiles & Sunny Fun: Reasons to Start Invisalign This Summer

Like a lot of folks out there, maybe you’ve been wanting to get an Invisalign treatment. That makes perfect sense – this procedure would quickly straighten out your whole smile! Well, it so happens that this summer is a great time to start using smile-aligning trays. Doing so during these next three months has many great perks and benefits. If that sounds good, read on to learn four key reasons to start Invisalign this summer.

A More Flexible Schedule

While Invisalign isn’t as involved as metal braces, it does require follow-up with your dentist. You must attend check-in visits every six weeks to ensure it’s on track. Luckily, starting this treatment in summer makes the follow-up sessions pretty easy.

Remember, summer tends to be more lax than the other seasons. It prompts schools and offices to make room for family vacations and other outings. So, booking your Invisalign treatment and its follow-ups shouldn’t be hard this summer. Your flexible schedule gives you the leeway to attend the visits.

An Easier Adjustment

Though it shouldn’t cause you much discomfort, Invisalign can take getting used to. Its aligners may make your mouth sore as they put pressure on your teeth. However, starting Invisalign in the summer should help you adjust more easily.

Don’t forget that the summer months are pretty relaxing. They often feature less office and school work due to vacations, resulting in fewer deadlines. That means you won’t have to worry about as many obligations as you work through any aligner pain.

Freedom to Eat Summer Foods

With little exception, metal braces make summer foods hard to eat. Season staples like hotdogs, hamburgers, and other fare often get stuck in their brackets and wires. That said, the good news is that Invisalign doesn’t have this issue.

Remember: Invisalign uses removable trays instead of metallic parts. As a result, you can (and should) remove the aligners before you enjoy your favorite summer treats. The trays shouldn’t get in the way of your meals. Rather, just remember to rinse and brush them before putting them back in your mouth.

A Straight Smile by Next Summers

On top of being eye-catching, metal braces can take a few years to work. Getting them in the summer would mean having a “metal mouth” in many vacation photos. Thankfully, today’s Invisalign trays can give you a straight smile by next summer.

Unlike metal braces, Invisalign only needs an average of 12-18 months to wrap up. They don’t often take years at a time to straighten out your smile. So, starting treatment now should lead to an aligned grin just in time for next summer’s antics!

Given the above, maybe you want to know other reasons to start Invisalign this summer. Feel free to consult your dental provider and consider getting some aligners soon!
