Their combination of subtlety, convenience, and the incredible results that they can provide has made them a popular choice for patients of all ages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in straightening your smile with these clear aligners, this summer is the perfect time to get started. Here\u2019s why that is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Making the Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you\u2019re out of school or your kids are, people\u2019s schedules tend to be a little bit more flexible in the summer. The fall is all about back-to-school shopping, the winter is all about the holidays, and the spring is rife with both exams and extracurricular activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By comparison, summer has much less going on. That means that the first few appointments\u2014the consultation, the exam, and the initial fitting\u2014can all be scheduled without putting additional pressure on you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Making an Impression<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re going on vacation this summer, it\u2019s a good idea to take as many pictures as you can. If you want to look your best in those photos, clear aligners can help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While it\u2019ll take a year or so to completely straighten your smile, clear aligners actually begin working immediately. If you look carefully, you\u2019ll probably be able to notice your smile looking a little bit more aligned within your first few trays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike traditional braces, there aren\u2019t any wires or brackets in the way of your teeth, meaning you\u2019ll be able to enjoy a straighter smile even during the treatment. You\u2019ll be able to show off a better you in no time at all!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Getting Adjusted<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Patients tend to agree that the first few months or so of wearing the aligners are the toughest. The feeling of having something on your teeth is still unfamiliar, and you\u2019ll still be getting used to cleaning them regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re out of school for the summer, it\u2019s usually best to get adjusted to wearing your trays before you go back. That way, you\u2019ll have to think less about how much time it\u2019ll take you to take off your aligner before lunch, or when to clean them. If you start now, that should all be second nature by the time you\u2019re in school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Over his 25 years of private practice, Dr. Davis Witt has developed a unique style that allows him to offer his patients orthodontic care in a way that puts them at ease.
