Summer has arrived, which means whether you have a lot of plans or very few, one thing you can count on is your smile being on display at family gatherings, on the beach with friends, or in photos of you and your kids playing in the backyard. If you want to do something about the crookedness or misalignment that has plagued your appearance for years, you can with SureSmile aligners. Keep reading to discover three reasons why you should start treatment this summer.
You Can Adjust to Treatment Without Distraction
SureSmile aligners are more comfortable to wear than traditional metal braces, but they do often come with an adjustment phase. Although short, this span of time can cause you to experience some soreness as your teeth begin to move.
Instead of being distracted or attempting to “work through the discomfort,” you likely have more time in the summer to relax. Taking an over-the-counter pain reliever can help reduce any achiness you might feel, and if you suffer a slight lisp, you won’t need to worry about others noticing. You can practice your speech at home and avoid the embarrassment.
You Can Still Eat All Your Favorite Foods
Wearing SureSmile during the summer won’t keep you from being able to eat a wide variety of foods. Since you’re required to remove your trays before consuming a meal or snack, you can still plan to eat corn on the cob, ribs, burgers, watermelon, and many of your other favorites.
Also, since you may feel slight discomfort when starting SureSmile treatment, you can plan to enjoy some of the cooler treats that are best enjoyed during the summer months, such as popsicles, ice cream, and fresh fruits.
Your Smile Will Look Different Months From Now
By choosing to start your SureSmile treatment in the summer, you can expect to see noticeable results in the months ahead. Although your timeline may vary based on your case, your teeth will continue to shift toward the desired location, allowing you to grow more confident in your appearance throughout the year.
Whether you want a healthier, more visually stunning smile by the holidays or are planning for a once-in-a-lifetime trip next summer, starting now will put you one step closer to your ultimate goal.
