Many people would love to have a straighter smile, but some of them may be reluctant to commit to wearing conspicuous and irremovable traditional braces that involve an extensive set of dietary restrictions. Thankfully, Invisalign allows patients to straighten their smiles using a customized sequence of virtually invisible clear aligners. Here are a few reasons why summer is one of the best times to begin Invisalign treatment.

Summer Offers Flexibility

During the summer, students typically have the whole season off and working people often have a bit of vacation time that they’re eager to enjoy. This time away from the usual responsibilities of life can give a patient the flexibility they need to get into the Invisalign routine. Without having to worry about work or school, one can acclimate to their new regimen of wearing and cleaning their clear aligners every day without having it distract them from their job or schoolwork.

Enjoy the Summer Feast

Barbequing is a time-honored summer tradition, but people who wear braces often have to skip the best foods at a cookout due to them being too crunchy, chewy, tough, or sweet. Thankfully, Invisalign clear aligners are completely removable so that patients can enjoy any food they like during treatment. All one has to do is remove their aligners before eating, enjoy their meal, wait at least thirty minutes so their enamel can recover, and brush and floss thoroughly before putting their aligners back in. This means you can enjoy your summer feast without fear of treatment delays.

Start Seeing Results Fast

If you want to look your best when the school year begins, a straighter smile is one of the best ways to do that. While Invisalign can usually take anywhere from six to eighteen months to complete, your teeth will be noticeably straighter soon after you begin treatment. You won’t even have to worry about unsightly metal braces distracting viewers from how great your smile looks.

Starting Invisalign during the summer can be a great way to start your journey towards a straighter, healthier, and more beautiful smile. After a brief consultation, your dentist will be able to tell if Invisalign can be a suitable treatment for you.
