Summer is a great time to plan a vacation, head to the beach, or enjoy a BBQ with loved ones. Turns out, summer is the perfect time to start Invisalign as well! So, if you’ve been considering clear aligner treatment to address crooked, gapped, and otherwise misaligned teeth, there’s truly no time like the present to schedule your consultation. Keep reading to learn five reasons why.
Reason #1: Take Advantage of Summertime Flexibility
Whether you’re using some PTO or simply planning on taking advantage of the multiple long weekends, you may find that your schedule isn’t as hectic during the summer months. If you’ve been wanting to straighten your teeth, then you can dedicate some of your extra time to Invisalign treatment – from scheduling your consultation to attending your check-in appointments.
Reason #2: Enjoy All of Your Favorite Summer Foods
Unlike traditional braces, Invisalign doesn’t come with any dietary restrictions. As a result, you can have buttery popcorn, caramel apples, corn on the cob, and any other summer staples you enjoy! Just make sure to remove your aligners first and brush your teeth shortly after you’re done with your meal.
Reason #3: Straighten Your Teeth From Anywhere
Since Invisalign is hassle-free, you can straighten your teeth from anywhere your summer plans take you. From backpacking abroad to visiting a new country or relaxing by the pool, you can fill your cup and improve the alignment of your teeth at the same time. Since your aligners are see-through, they won’t steal the spotlight in any picture you take along the way too!
Reason #4: Create a Solid Routine by Fall
Even with a lot of preparation and research, it may take a bit of time to adjust to life with clear aligners. From brushing after each meal to rinsing your aligners each time you take them out, it takes practice. The good news is that if you start now, you’ll have your routine solidified before fall rolls around and your calendar fills up again.
Reason #5: Have Your Dream Smile by Next Summer!
One of the biggest perks of Invisalign is the quicker average treatment timeline. While traditional braces can take 24+ months, Invisalign can often straighten teeth in just 12. So, if you are diligent about following all of your dentist’s instructions, you could have your dream smile by this time next year!
