There’s a time and place for everything, but when it comes to dental cosmetic treatments, it can be difficult to pin down the perfect timeline. You want to straighten out your pearly whites, but you don’t want your treatment to be inconvenient!
Fortunately, correcting teeth with Invisalign is a smooth, seamless process. There isn’t really a bad time to start, but there are a few reasons why summer might be optimal. Keep reading for the details!
Start Invisalign Now to Make Tomorrow Easier
Invisalign aligners are clear and removable, making them an incredibly convenient and flexible orthodontic option. That said, any time you start a new treatment, you’ll have a whole new routine to get used to!
You don’t want to deal with that during back-to-school blasts. Instead, start your treatment in the summer, so that when schedules get hectic again, maintaining your aligners will be second nature.
Enjoy Clean Invisalign Aligners and Fresh Teeth
You’ve probably heard about how hard it is to clean traditional braces. It takes extra time to floss around wires and remove food debris. This makes skipping out on brushing and flossing pretty tempting, but then you’re going about your day with the worst aftertaste.
Since Invisalign trays are removable, keeping your teeth clean and minty fresh is a breeze! Simply give your trays a quick squeeze to pull them out, and proceed with your dental hygiene routine per usual. Imagine rolling up to the family beach day with squeaky clean teeth. That’s going to feel great! Just remember to put your trays back in their case before hopping into the ocean.
Take All the Photos with Invisalign
Of course you’re going to be taking a bunch of summertime photos! Fortunately, when maintained properly, Invisalign aligners are perfectly clear. You could take as many photos as you want, and no one would be able to tell you’re wearing an orthodontic appliance. Actually, Invisalign starts to show results pretty early on in the treatment process. As you document your summer activities, you might notice your teeth looking better and better!
After Invisalign Treatment, Next Summer will be Even Better!
Many people worry about starting dental treatments during the summer because they can be lengthy. We’ve already discussed how you won’t have to worry about your Invisalign’s appearance. It’s true that your Invisalign treatment will likely take several months to a year to complete, but during that time, you’ll likely only notice the positives: straighter teeth!
Starting a months-long treatment in the summer also means that next summer, your teeth will be flawlessly aligned and orthodontic free! Imagine how satisfying it will be to take your clear aligners off for the final time. Watermelon and strawberries will taste even juicier when you don’t have to worry about staining your aligners.
Trying to find the perfect time to start your Invisalign journey doesn’t have to be like a game of chess. Summer is a good season to start for many reasons, but talk to your dentist about your schedule. After listening to your expectations, they’ll be able to draft up an Invisalign plan that suits you best. No more guessing needed!
