Looking for the best time to get braces? Summer is the perfect season to start orthodontic treatment, especially at Molen Orthodontics. With more flexible schedules, easier meal planning, and time to adjust to new routines, starting braces in the summer can make the entire process smoother and more comfortable.
Whether you are considering braces for your child or thinking about starting treatment yourself, here are five reasons why starting braces during summer break is a smart move.
1. Flexible Schedules = Easier Orthodontist Appointments
When school is out, your calendar opens up. This makes it easier to book your orthodontic consultations and follow-up visits without missing class or rearranging after-school activities. The relaxed pace of summer allows families to fit in appointments more easily, reducing stress and making the transition into braces more manageable.
2. Time to Adjust to Braces or Clear Aligners
Starting orthodontic treatment is a big change, and summer provides the breathing room you need to adapt. Whether you are getting metal braces or Invisalign aligners, summer gives you time to get used to your new smile gear without the added pressure of school or a packed daily routine.
3. Braces-Friendly Summer Foods
The beginning of orthodontic treatment often involves adjusting your diet. Summer makes it easier to stock your kitchen with soft, braces-safe foods like smoothies, yogurt, pasta, and frozen treats. Without the need to pack school lunches or eat in a cafeteria, patients have more control over what they eat and can avoid foods that might damage brackets or wires.
4. Get a Head Start on Your Smile Transformation
When you start treatment in the summer, you begin seeing results by the time fall rolls around. Students can head back to school already on their way to a straighter smile — and adults can look forward to improved confidence before the busy fall season. Every week of treatment counts, and summer is a great time to make progress.
5. Boost Your Confidence Before School or Events
Many patients feel self-conscious about starting orthodontic treatment. By beginning during the summer months, you have time to adjust physically and emotionally. You will feel more confident by the time you return to school or attend summer events, with fewer worries about how you look or feel with braces.
