5 Reasons to Start Your Summer with Invisalign Braces

If you’re finally ready to straighten your smile, summer is one of the best times of the year for adults to begin Invisalign treatment. While committing to such a major responsibility is a big effort any time of year, the warmer months simplify the process just a bit, and you’ll be happy you entered the Invisalign journey sooner rather than later.

1. Flexibility.

Chances are, you’ve got some vacation days that you’re ready to cash in for summer. Whether you’re planning a staycation, taking long weekends, or heading off for some awesome travel, you feel like you have more time to spend doing non-work things.

A great use of those extra hours should involve being good to yourself. Because you will see your Invisalign provider about every six weeks for a check-up and to collect new aligners, you (and your dentist) will have more flexibility in scheduling appointments during the summer. You’ll also get used to making time for your check-ups so they’ll become the norm in your routine.

2. Time to adjust.

Yes, Invisalign is smoother and more comfortable than conventional metal braces, but they are still doing the hard work of moving your teeth and their roots – this will create a little pressure that will take some getting used to.

Summer is less stressful. Longer, warmer days simply call for relaxation, even if you’re getting braces. If you’ve long wanted straight teeth and a healthier smile, starting Invisalign in summer gives you time to adjust to the aligners in your mouth without the demands of major work deadlines or school-related obligations.

You’ll also get used to putting your aligners in and taking them out. In summertime, you can develop a good routine so, once the colder months come blowing in, you’ll be well on your way to a permanently straight smile.

3. Great foods.

What do food and Invisalign have to do with each other? Well, pretty much nothing. There are no food restrictions with Invisalign. Because you remove the aligners for every meal and snack, you can still bite into every crunchy, chewy summer food that you love – corn on the cob, watermelon, candy apples, cotton candy, ribs and burgers from the grill. You don’t have to worry about brackets and aligners getting in the way or limiting your love of summer eats.

Just be sure to clean your teeth and aligners well before snapping Invisalign back in place – the last thing you want to do is capture food particles between the two.

4. Good practice.

You don’t want to be deterred from enjoying the social scene, parades, parties, barbeques, and get-togethers because you’re embarrassed by your teeth. Whatever you choose to do or wherever you choose to go, you allow yourself plenty of time to practice wearing Invisalign – and realize that so few people notice the aligners in your mouth.

5. Anticipation.

Invisalign treatment, on average, takes one year to complete. If you start this summer, chances are good you’ll be done by next summer. A straight smile just in time for serious fun in the sun – now that is something exciting to look forward to!

Build up your confidence this summer by starting Invisalign now. Make an appointment with Dr. Sina Reangber, certified Haymarket Invisalign provider, at LifeTime Smiles to find out if you’re a good candidate for Invisalign.
