Want to make sure your pearly whites are summer selfie-ready? If you’re struggling with crooked or misaligned teeth, your dentist can help. Traditional braces can be a chore, and having metal brackets and wires in your mouth for over a year sounds pretty uncomfortable. Thankfully, there is an easier way to straighten up that signature smile: clear aligners! With this in mind, read on to learn why summer is the best time to start Invisalign!
Your Schedule is More Flexible
Whether you’re taking long weekends for short trips or planning a staycation, chances are you and your family have some time off this summer to relax. A more flexible schedule means you have ample time to make appointments with your dentist for routine Invisalign checkups every six weeks.
Invisalign is smoother and more comfortable than traditional braces, but it’s still working to move your teeth, so you’ll still have an adjustment period to get used to the pressure. You’ll also need time to get used to putting your aligners in and taking them off.
No Summer Snack Restrictions
Because you remove the aligners before eating, there are no food restrictions with Invisalign. Unlike braces, you can still enjoy your favorite sweet, hard, and sticky foods! Whether you are reaching for a handful of popcorn at the theater or cotton candy at the fair, Invisalign lets you eat what you want worry-free.
Just make sure you’re cleaning your teeth and aligners well before putting Invisalign back on to avoid trapping food particles underneath.
Stick to the Status Quo
Getting Invisalign allows you to continue enjoying your summer social life. From parties to parades to barbeques, you don’t have to sacrifice your fun to achieve straightened teeth.
Once you get used to the initial adjustment period of Invisalign, any soreness should disappear. The more you wear your aligners, the quicker you’ll become more comfortable with wearing them. It won’t interrupt your summer plans at all!
Invisalign treatment usually takes one year to complete, so by next summer, you’ll have your dream smile!
