Are you gearing up for a family vacation across the country? How about a trip down to the beach for some fun in the sun? What about starting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentist-tappan.com\/invisalign-clear-aligners.html\">Invisalign<\/a> treatment? Even though enhancing your smile might not seem like an exciting summer activity, starting Invisalign during the summer is actually pretty clever and advantageous. Here are four reasons why you should consider kicking off your journey with Invisalign towards a straighter and healthier smile during the summertime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reason #1: Flexible Summer Schedule<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of people enjoy leisure-filled, slower-paced schedules during the summertime with longer weekends, extra PTO days, and plenty of rest &amp; relaxation. So, whether you\u2019re taking a vacation or a staycation, you\u2019ll likely be able to set aside enough time for beginning Invisalign treatment. Since you\u2019ll need to visit your dentist about every six weeks for checkups and your next set of trays, scheduling these appointments shouldn\u2019t be difficult if you have more time to spare! This also helps to keep your treatment progress right on track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reason #2: No Awkward \u201cMetal Mouth\u201d in Photos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Summertime is filled with lots of fun activities that are worth documenting\u2014and you certainly don\u2019t want a metal-filled mouth drawing everyone\u2019s attention when they look at your summer photos! But Invisalign\u2019s clear aligners are virtually see-through and seamlessly blend into your smile. No one will even know that you\u2019re wearing them unless you tell them, and your smile will be camera-ready at a moment\u2019s notice; all while your teeth are actively being straightened!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reason #3: Enjoy All of Your Favorite Summer Snacks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the cardinal rules of Invisalign is that you can\u2019t eat or drink anything while wearing your aligners; the only exception to this rule is drinking water! That said, if you\u2019re diligent about removing your trays when it\u2019s time to eat, you don\u2019t have to follow any dietary guidelines! That means that all your favorite summer snacks and treats are still on the table: watermelon, corn-on-the-cob, candy apples, cotton candy, grilled meats, and more! Just be sure to brush your teeth before popping your aligners back in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reason #4: Plenty of Time to Adjust<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though Invisalign functions similarly to traditional braces, the clear aligners are much more comfortable to wear. However, it\u2019s still normal to feel some initial discomfort upon getting started. But since summertime is typically less stressful and slower paced than the rest of the year, you\u2019ll have plenty of time to adjust to wearing your aligners while you\u2019re unwinding and relaxing. By the time the cool autumn months roll around, you\u2019ll be a master of wearing and removing your Invisalign trays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re thinking about starting Invisalign treatment, consider getting the ball rolling during the summertime. The process is much easier than you might realize, and summer only simplifies it further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Smile More Dentistry proudly serves patients and families in the Tappan, NY area under the leadership of Dr. Mariliza LaCap, Dr. Darren Tong, and their awesome team!
