Some people may think of summer as their busiest time of year, causing them to not think about visiting the dentist or even remotely consider getting orthodontic treatment like Invisalign. However, there are countless reasons why May, June, and July are some of the best months to start your clear aligner treatment in Irving. Read on for five reasons you should consider beginning your journey towards a straighter smile this summer.
#1 Start Without the Pressure of School
For children and teens who need orthodontic treatment, starting in the summer allows them to begin the process without the added pressure of school. With school out, they can get used to speaking with their aligners in their mouth without any embarrassment and having the time to develop an Invisalign care routine that works for them.
#2 Treatment Won’t Disrupt Your Vacation
Your daily life and routine can change a lot when you get braces, but that’s less-so the case with Invisalign aligners. If you have an upcoming vacation or getaway planned for this summer, rest-assured knowing that it won’t be ruined by deciding to straighten your smile! You’ll even be able to take all the selfies you want and let your smile shine since your aligners are virtually unnoticeable!
#3 Scheduling Your Consultation is Easier
If you start your Invisalign treatment in the summer, you will likely be able to get in to see your dentist sooner. Appointments tend to fill up pretty quickly in August before school starts, which could delay your opportunity to start straightening your smile if you aren’t able to be seen right away.
#4 You’ll Likely Be Finished by Next Summer
The average Invisalign treatment timeline is between eight and 12 months, which means you may be able to achieve a straighter smile and be finished with treatment before the beginning of next summer! This will allow you to get the most out of your newly aligned smile.
#5 You Can Still Enjoy Summertime Cookouts
With braces, you’ll need to forego all of the summer cookout delicacies like corn on the cob or smoked turkey legs and ribs. That’s not the case with Invisalign. Even if you start your journey at the beginning of summer, you can still eat all of your favorite foods. All you’ll need to do is simply remove your aligners before eating! It’s that simple.
