After years of seeing photos of your gapped, misaligned smile, you’ve started to consider undergoing Invisalign treatment. This process utilizes clear aligner trays to move your teeth into a better position over a period of months or years. Though there are benefits of getting Invisalign any time of the year, beginning treatment during the summer offers extra perks. Read on to learn about three reasons why you should get Invisalign this summer.
Reason #1: Begin to See Results Sooner
Just like with any other kind of orthodontic treatment, the sooner you begin, the more quickly you’ll start noticing changes. Though the decision to undergo orthodontic treatment may seem daunting, there’s no better time than the present.
One major benefit of getting Invisalign is that the average treatment timeline is only 12-18 months. When compared to traditional braces, which take two to three years on average, clear aligners save you a lot of time. If you start Invisalign treatment this summer, you’ll start noticing a difference within just a few weeks. This will allow you to go back to work or school post-vacation with a more beautiful beam!
Reason #2: Enjoy Your Favorite Summer Food
As a popular alternative to traditional metal braces, Invisalign gives patients the freedom to eat almost anything they want since the trays are removable and easy to clean. Braces are known for restricting one’s diet since many foods can break brackets and wires or get stuck in them.
Fortunately, Invisalign comes with zero dietary limitations, which means you can eat all kinds of classic summer foods, like taffy, pretzels, and corn on the cob. All you have to do is pop your aligners out before you start eating to avoid staining or damaging them. Since Invisalign needs to be worn for at least 20-22 hours each day, be sure to clean your teeth and put your trays back in right after you’re done eating.
Reason #3: Get Used to a More Flexible Schedule
During the summer, many people are busy planning vacations or working temporary jobs. This means that fewer of them will be trying to find time to visit the dentist and you’ll find it easier to book an appointment. Regular appointments with your dentist or orthodontist are an important part of staying on track with treatment since they will be able to identify potential issues. Additionally, these check-ins allow you to ask them any questions you have regarding treatment.
By undergoing Invisalign treatment during the summer, you won’t have to spend the season feeling ashamed of a lopsided smile. Be sure to set up a consultation with your dentist so you can learn more about clear aligners and begin your journey towards a more beautiful beam!
