If it\u2019s due to the alignment of your teeth, there\u2019s good news: you no longer need to wear metal brackets and wires for 24+ months to perfect your grin. Furthermore, there\u2019s no time like the present to take the first step in the clear aligner treatment process! Here are four reasons to consider starting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ddsdc.com\/invisalign.html\">Invisalign<\/a> this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. The Sooner You Start, The Sooner You See Results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For decades, patients needed to wear metal brackets and wires to straighten their teeth. Not only are there aesthetic drawbacks to traditional braces, but the treatment process can take 24+ months. Invisalign, on the other hand, has an average treatment timeline of just 12-18 months. That means that there\u2019s a chance you\u2019ll have your dream smile by this time next year if you start now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. You Can Straighten Your Teeth from Anywhere<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s true! Whether you\u2019re planning on taking a road trip or flying to a completely different country, Invisalign allows you to straighten your teeth from anywhere your summer plans take you. Just make sure to take a few proactive measures to stay on track with your treatment plan, like wearing your aligners for 20+ hours a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. The Long Weekends Give You Time to Adjust<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best parts of summer is that it\u2019s typically more relaxed. For example, even if you aren\u2019t taking PTO, you might have a few long weekends between Memorial Day and Labor Day. This can be beneficial at the start of your Invisalign treatment when you are adjusting to life with clear aligners. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. You Won\u2019t Have to Give Up Any of Your Favorite Summer Foods<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Patients are often disappointed to hear that they need to give up some of their favorite foods with traditional braces, like caramel apples, corn on the cob, and popcorn. Don\u2019t worry \u2013 you don\u2019t have to alter your diet in any way with Invisalign. As long as you remove them first, you can eat whatever you\u2019d like while at the fair, at a family picnic, or at a restaurant abroad!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ddsdc.com\/\">Aesthetic &amp; Family Dentistry of Washington<\/a>, we help patients with so much more than preventive and restorative care; we offer smile-enhancing treatments as well!
