3 Reasons to Start Braces or Clear Aligners This Summer

June 13, 2025 9:00 am

Summer always brings a break from routine—and sometimes, that’s exactly what you need to start something new. If you’ve been thinking about getting braces to straighten your teeth, this season might be the perfect time to start your orthodontic journey.

Whether you’re leaning toward traditional braces or clear aligners, beginning treatment during the summer has its perks. Here are three reasons it just makes sense.

    1. More Flexibility in Your Schedule

    With school out and vacation time in full swing, summer tends to be less hectic for many families. That means fewer scheduling conflicts and more time to attend appointments without rushing around.

    It’s easier to get used to your new braces or aligners when you’re not juggling a packed calendar. By the time school or work picks up again, the adjustment period is behind you.

    2. A Head Start on Progress

    Braces and aligners take time to work—but every week counts. Starting braces in summer gives your treatment a running start. You’ll already be weeks or even months into your plan by the time fall rolls around.

    Still, while orthodontic treatment takes time, it doesn’t take forever to see changes. By starting this summer, you’ll likely notice some visible improvements by the time the holiday season rolls around. That’s something worth smiling about in the family photos.

    3. Time to Adjust and Settle in

    The first few days with braces or aligners come with a learning curve. You might need to change how you eat or speak. Summer gives you space to adapt without classroom or work distractions.

    You also have more time at home to manage any soreness or new routines, like cleaning aligners or brushing around brackets.
