If you’ve been eagerly awaiting the arrival of summer, it’s probably because of all the time you’ll have to relax and take a break from the hustle and bustle. While you are likely to have vacations, family gatherings, and outdoor BBQs with friends planned in the months ahead, you might also be thinking about what you can do to finally address your crooked or misaligned smile. Read on to discover 3 reasons why there is no better time than summer to start Invisalign treatment.
Reason #1: More Time for Appointments.
Although you may have plans to use some of your vacation days this summer, you may be fortunate enough to have more time off or flexibility that allows you to maintain your Invisalign appointments.
While wearing these clear aligners doesn’t require the kind of follow-up visits that traditional braces do, you will need to keep your appointments so that your orthodontist can review and monitor your progress.
These visits shouldn’t take longer than 30 minutes, but they’re essential to the success of your treatment, especially if you need adjustments along the way.
Reason #2: Easier Adjustment Phase.
Initially, starting with Invisalign takes time. Your mouth needs to adjust to the new trays against your teeth. As a result, you may have a slight lisp – a temporary impediment that will dissipate over time.
By starting Invisalign during the summer, you can make your way through your adjustment phase without bringing much attention to any speech or eating changes you initially experience. Instead, you can ease through this process and become more comfortable with how your aligners work so that when fall arrives, you are already a pro at handling the swap from old aligners to new ones.
Reason #3: Have an Aligned Smile by Next Summer.
The average timeframe for Invisalign completion is 12-18 months, so if you start treatment this summer, there is a good chance that you will be finished by the time next summer rolls around. This means that you can make plans to take that dream vacation next year and trust that your teeth will look better than ever in all your photos.
Or maybe you’re planning to get married next summer. Starting now can ensure your smile is stunning when you say, “I do.”
There’s no better time to start your journey toward a straighter set of teeth than this summer. You’ll enjoy all the benefits these warmer months bring while watching your smile become more beautiful each day.
