Summer is often associated with rest and relaxation – not dental treatments! Starting Invisalign is probably not at the top of your seasonal to-do list. However, there are plenty of reasons to consider bumping Invisalign to the top of your priorities. Keep reading, and you’ll see why you should start your summer fun with an Invisalign treatment.
Have a Stress-Free Adjustment Period
Getting used to Invisalign can take some time. While you’ll eventually get used to the way they feel in your mouth, you might notice some discomfort and lisping at first. You could try to work through the adjustment period during the hectic school year – or you could simply do it while you have a stress-free schedule.
Establish a New Routine with Ease
In a similar vein, you’ll likely also have to make changes to your routine when you start Invisalign. Normally, cementing an eating schedule and increased oral hygiene habits wouldn’t be too difficult, but with a packed school-year schedule, it’s harder to start and maintain a new routine. Why not make life a little easier and introduce your lifestyle changes over the summer?
Enjoy Appointment Flexibility
In order for Invisalign to straighten your teeth, you’ll have to schedule a few follow-up appointments with your dentist. These appointments allow them to check on your treatment progress and make adjustments if necessary, so they’re important for making sure you have a smooth experience. Once again, fitting in those appointments during the school year isn’t an easy feat!
Not as Limiting as You Think
Many patients do hesitate to start their Invisalign treatment in the summer because of the unique activities and foods they plan to enjoy. However, Invisalign isn’t as limited as you might be thinking! Since the aligners are completely removable, you can still enjoy all your favorite summer treats and plans.
At the end of the day, the sooner you start Invisalign, the sooner you can enjoy a perfectly straight smile. If summer happens to be a convenient time for you, then call your dentist and start your orthodontic journey today!
