Why Summer is the Perfect Time to get Invisalign®

See All Blogs

June 30, 2024

School’s almost out, and summer’s just around the corner. If you’re ready to glow up and transform your confidence, now’s your chance!

Here’s why summer is the perfect time to get Invisalign® and why you might get Invisalign after braces:

  1. No school!

School is out for the summer! This means sitting in those long parent pick-up lines and ushering your kids to all those extracurricular activities are on hold for a few months. With more free time, it’s more convenient to schedule your regular orthodontic appointments. You aren’t juggling a school schedule with a work schedule and an orthodontic appointment schedule. 

Plus, with DentalMonitoring virtual care, you’ll be able to complete virtual check-ins to get even more time back in your schedule!

2. More time to adjust

We’ll be honest: starting Invisalign treatment is a mild adjustment. Your teeth and gums are adjusting to the new enforcement of aligners, so you may experience a little soreness. You might have to choose softer foods (like soup, applesauce and bread) during the first week or two, until your mouth adjusts.

With no school in session during the summer, it’s easier to kick back, sip on cool lemonade and allow your mouth to rest! When it’s time to return those kiddies to school, you’ll be in the perfect routine with your Invisalign aligners.

3. Sport your summer smile with Invisalign!

Invisalign aligners are clear, so you can show off your budding smile without the distraction of brackets or wires. 

Friends and coworkers won’t be able to see your clear aligners, so you can go about your professional and social life with confidence. Smile confidently on those ZOOM calls or in-office days.

Maybe the best part of all: There’s no need to worry about giving up your favorite summer foods, so enjoy those BBQ ribs and corn on the cob to your heart’s content! Be sure to remove your aligners first, and give your smile a quick cleaning once you’re done.

Kids love Invisalign too! They’re still free to be their wildest selves without the worry of a broken bracket during an intense game of Capture the Flag. They can snack to their heart’s content with no food restrictions and easy oral hygiene care.

4. Enter the fall with a new smile!

For kids and parents, the soreness phase will be over by the time school starts and you’ll be in a routine of wearing and storing your Invisalign aligners. 

It can be more of an adjustment to start orthodontic treatment during the school year, because you have so many more responsibilities on your plate! 

And parents, if you need a quick touch-up, you can start treatment conveniently too! We offer custom Invisalign treatment with three different care packages to meet your needs. Explore our DocAligners Experience and alllllll the personalization and benefits that come with it. 

Should I get Invisalign or braces?

At Russell Orthodontics, we’re big fans of Invisalign! Not to say we won’t give you the option of choosing braces if that’s your vibe. But with over 20 years of experience in transforming smiles with Invisalign, Doc Russell is a bit of a pro when it comes to giving kids, teens, and adults the smile that they’ve always dreamed of. 

In fact, Invisalign themselves even designated Doc Russell as a Top 1% Blue Diamond Invisalign provider – which is a fancy way of saying that he’s earned the highest level of diction in Invisalign achievable.

Whichever you choose, braces or Invisalign, Doc Russell will create a completely personalized plan and stunning new smile.

Why would I be getting Invisalign after braces?

Parents if you’ve had braces before as a teen or an adult and you haven’t been diligent with your retainer wear, you may be wondering about this one! 

It’s true that you can get Invisalign after braces for a quick touch-up with Doc Russell! There’s no need to go through the braces placement process again and say bye-bye to your crunchy and gummy snacks after the kids head to bed. 

If you just need a smile touch-up, our low-cost touch-up package is perfect for you!

Start living your best Invisalife!

If you still have questions about any of our orthodontic treatments, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We’re here to help you make the best decision for your smile and your quality of life. 

Doc Russell and our team at Russell Orthodontics are here to help guide you through the process. Ready to get started? Request your complimentary consultation today!
