Summer is here! It’s been a long time coming, but you made it. With summer comes a lot of plans and activities. From family vacations and camping trips to swimming at the beach and simply relaxing with a glass of lemonade, there is a lot to do! So much, in fact, that perhaps orthodontics treatment has taken a back seat in your priorities. Don’t let that happen! Orthodontic treatment over the summer is still important.
Missing an orthodontic appointment isn’t going to ruin your summer plans, but it could prolong your treatment time. It’s important to keep up with your appointments so we can continue adjusting your braces or continue supplying you with the Invisalign aligners you need to continue your progress.
What to Do
If you have vacation plans, let us know! We can schedule your appointments accordingly and help you know what to do for extended trips. If you plan on extended trips, we can schedule appointments for just before you leave and right after you return. That way, you’re not losing out on a ton of time.
Don’t forget to bring your braces care kit along with you. You’ll need to floss and brush as normal, and regular braces maintenance will help keep your braces in working order until you get back.
Why Summer is a Good Time to Start
With school in session, the days, weeks, and months are filled with activities. Work, sports, classes, and other things take priority. Starting orthodontic treatment under these conditions is tough; who has time to even schedule an appointment?
However, with summer in full swing, school is out, days are lazier, and there is more time to start on something you’ve been meaning to do for a while now–get that perfect smile! So while you may be taking trips or hanging out at the beach, you might still have more time to investigate orthodontic treatment. Besides, starting now means you’ll already be used to your new appliances by the time school rolls around again, so you won’t have to adjust to too many things at once.
