Anytime of year is a good time to start Invisalign treatment, but some seasons are more appropriate for you individually based on your habits, hobbies, and obligations. A major part of the success of this cosmetic dentistry treatment is getting it started at the right time, so be sure to consider when a big adjustment will fit best into your lifestyle.
Fall Into Invisalign
Many people mark the start of their year by the start of the school season. Whether you’re a student or teacher, parent or administrator, there is much to be done and plenty to get used to at this time of year. This might be just the right opportunity to introduce Invisalign into your life and make it blend into all the other responsibilities and activities you have going on.
Some patients welcome the chaos of fall and the challenge of adding something new to their life during such a busy season of the year. If you’re good at multitasking, it should be no problem to learn how to wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day, master a teeth cleaning routine, and see your Red Bank Invisalign provider every six to eight weeks.
Settle Down for Winter Wear
Winter can be the perfect time to start something new for your smile. This is the time of year when you simply must stay inside more often and life gets a little slower. Beginning a “project” like Invisalign at this time allows you to focus on your smile, getting all the rules right, wearing the trays properly, and cleaning your teeth as often as you should.
Winter is also when the New Year dawns and many people choose to reinvent themselves with a discreet smile makeover that includes Invisalign.
Spring Into Action
Long, cold winters can be difficult to get through, but spring is the time of rebirth and a great season to do something for yourself to feel good about the months to come. If you prioritize your oral health now, you will have a smile that’s ready for warmer weather in the summer. You’ll feel good about inviting in change to your established daily routine and appearance.
Summertime Goals
Things get a little loosy goosey in summertime. Some patients don’t want any obligations beyond what they already have. Others, though, know that the dearth of responsibilities in the summer months make this a perfect time to make room for a change like Invisalign. Your days are less demanding during this time of year and adjusting to life as an Invisalign patient can actually be easiest in summer.
What Invisalign Season Is Right for You?
Know that whatever season of the year you choose to start Invisalign, you will very likely be wearing your trays through every season at least once. The treatment, in general, takes about a year to complete, though some patients require a little more time and others need a little less.
The only way to know where you stand and determine what’s best for your oral health is to schedule a consultation with your Red Bank Invisalign provider at Red Bank Dentistry. Contact Dr. Carole Sherrod Jewell and her team to schedule an appointment.
