The warmer months aren\u2019t just great for soaking up some sun on the beach, relaxing by the pool, and traveling \u2013 summer is a great time to start Invisalign<\/a> too. So, if you\u2019ve been thinking about straightening your teeth with clear aligners, there\u2019s no time like the present to start! If you\u2019re not quite convinced yet, then keep reading to learn a few of the many perks of pursuing this discreet orthodontic treatment this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. A More Flexible Schedule<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Since Memorial Day, the 4th<\/sup> of July, and Labor Day all happen during the summer months, there\u2019s a bit more time to schedule the necessary Invisalign appointments! Plus, many companies now offer \u00bd days on Friday during the summer months, opening calendars even further. The good news is that even if you work during the holiday weekends or full days on Fridays, many orthodontic offices offer lunchtime and afternoon hours to make pursuing your dream smile convenient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Summer Staples Are Still on the Table<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Unfortunately, corn on the cob, raw celery, whole apples, potato chips, and popcorn all are on the list of dietary restrictions for patients with traditional braces. The same cannot be said for those with clear aligners. That\u2019s because they can be removed, ensuring all of your favorite summer staples are still on the table!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Brushing and Flossing Are a Breeze<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your summer plans include traveling abroad, heading out of town for weekend vacations, going to your family\u2019s house for BBQs, or grabbing dinners with long-time friends, then you\u2019ll be happy to hear that brushing and flossing your teeth on-the-go is a breeze. All you have to do is remove your aligners beforehand and then complete your oral hygiene regimen with travel-sized dental care essentials (i.e., toothbrush, toothpaste, floss).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Have a Gorgeous Smile By Next Summer!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the biggest perks of Invisalign often flies under the radar: the average treatment timeline is only 12-18 months. That means there\u2019s a good chance that you\u2019ll have perfectly straight teeth if you start now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: Invisalign treatment timelines depend largely on the severity of the orthodontic issues at hand. That said, there are a few universal ways to work through the series of aligners quickly, including wearing them for 20-22 hours a day and transitioning to each new set on the correct days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
