Do you find yourself covering your mouth when you laugh or keeping your lips closed when you smile because you aren’t happy with the alignment of your teeth? If so, it’s important to know that traditional metal braces are no longer the only teeth-straightening solution available. With clear aligners, your dentist can correct crowded teeth, spaced out teeth, and even common bite problems without drawing unwanted attention to your smile! If you’re still on the fence about scheduling a consultation, then keep reading to learn four reasons you should start Invisalign this summer.
1. Take Advantage of a More Flexible Schedule
One of the best parts of summer is that there are three holiday weekends: Memorial Day, the 4th of July, and Labor Day. Plus, the sun no longer sets at 4 PM, making the days considerably longer. In addition to relaxing by the pool, scheduling dinners with friends, and planning days on the lake, consider scheduling your Invisalign consultation – you won’t regret it!
2. Adjust to Clear Aligner Treatment by the Pool
The first week is usually the biggest adjustment with Invisalign. That’s because it takes some trial and error to find a schedule that works and figure out how to take off and put on your aligners. During the summer months, you can do all that with a bit more flexibility. Plus, you can relax by the pool, lake, or beach all while straightening your teeth!
3. You Can Still Enjoy Summer Staples
Is one of your favorite summer activities going to BBQs? If so, you’ll be happy to hear that there aren’t any dietary restrictions with Invisalign; whole apples, corn on the cob, potato chips, and popcorn are all on the table! Just make sure to remove your aligners first and store them somewhere safe so you don’t lose them.
4. The Average Treatment Timeline Is Only 12-18 Months
Another perk of starting Invisalign now is that you very well may have the results you want by this time next year. That’s because the average treatment timeline is 12-18 months (while traditional braces usually take 2-3 years). Plus, since the aligners are clear and removable, you won’t have to wait an entire year to see results; you’ll start to see improvements after your first few sets of aligners!
