Visit Our Invisalign® Dentist Office to Improve Your Smile This Summer

Scheduling a consultation with our Invisalign dentist office can be the beginning of an incredibly transformative, and enjoyable summer. Millions of Americans suffer from malocclusion, more commonly known as a bad bite, most likely from crooked teeth. This causes most people to be very conscious about their smile, which in turn makes the summer more stressful than it needs to be.

As an Invisalign dentist, we are fully aware of the challenges people with a shy smile face in summer. Summer is a boisterous season, full of fun and socializing. For over 88% of American families, the summer is the time for them to head out to see extended family, explore parts unknown, or go back to their favorite holiday destination. Even those of us who stay home will be immersed in a multitude of social situations. Summer brings barbecues, pool and beach parties, and even the dreaded company picnic. All of these are celebrating our desire to shed the drabness of winter and replace it with the fun buoyancy of summer.

If you have malocclusion and are conscious about your smile, this can lead to a level of stress. The good news is that if you come see us soon, we can start you on the treatment before the end of summer which means that by the time Thanksgiving rolls around you will already be seeing results.

When you visit our Invisalign dentist office, you will have already made one key decision, and that is to get your teeth straightened. The next decision is how you want to get your teeth straightened, using the treatment of traditional braces or if you want to use Invisalign®. There are distinct advantages to wearing clear aligners that we will go over with you in detail during this first consultation visit. While it is true that traditional braces will get the job done, having them put in during the summer months adds a layer of complexity that you should consider. Summer is usually a time for socializing over food. With traditional braces, you will quickly realize that you cannot eat and drink whatever you want. Braces are fragile, so protecting them is the number one priority. As such there will be a complete laundry list of the things that you can and cannot eat. There are also things that you will need to avoid, things that you must cut out, and things that you need to reconsider eating. All of these pose a significant challenge for someone who just wants to enjoy their summer vacation, without having to be bothered about what they can and cannot eat.

On the other hand, the Invisalign® system is designed with eating in mind. The clear aligners are designed to easily come out of your mouth during meals. This means that you will always use your natural teeth for eating. It also means that there is no restriction to what you can eat. We only recommend that you make sure to you clean your teeth well before replacing the aligner. To learn more, visit our Invisalign® dentist office.
