You don&#8217;t have to worry about any noticeable brackets or wires. Instead, clear aligners provide a discreet treatment. Although it&#8217;s never too late to improve your alignment or bite, here are 5 reasons summer is a great time to start your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cordesorthodontics.com\/invisalign-clear-braces.html\">Invisalign<\/a> treatment.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Does Invisalign Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditional braces use a system of brackets and wires to gently pull teeth into alignment. Invisalign differs because a series of aligners are worn over your teeth to apply continual pressure to move your teeth gradually.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You must commit to wearing the aligners for at least 22 hours per day and switch to the next set in the series every 1 to 2 weeks, as instructed by your dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of Invisalign Treatment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Invisalign is the preferred orthodontic treatment among teens and adults, and for good reasons. Here are just a few of the benefits you&#8217;ll enjoy by committing to Invisalign this summer:<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li><strong>Less Time in the Dentist\u2019s Chair:<\/strong> You won&#8217;t have to spend many days of summer in the dentist\u2019s chair because you won&#8217;t need appointments for adjustments. However, you will still need to check in with your dentist so they can monitor the movement of your teeth.<\/li><li><strong>Won\u2019t Affect Your Appearance:<\/strong> You will look great while laying out by the pool or taking vacation photos because Invisalign is virtually undetectable when in your mouth. You won&#8217;t have anxiety about unnecessary attention drawn to brackets or wires, so you&#8217;ll always look and feel your best.<\/li><li><strong>More Time to Adjust:<\/strong> You can expect a brief adjustment period as you get used to wearing your aligners. With fewer school activities and work responsibilities, life tends to slow down during the summer. You&#8217;ll have plenty of time to adjust to wearing them without having to worry about juggling as many daily responsibilities.<\/li><li><strong>Enjoy Quick Results:<\/strong> Every case differs, but most patients are finished with Invisalign in about 12 months. By this time next year, you&#8217;ll have a straight beautiful smile that&#8217;s ready for summer.<\/li><li><strong>Boost Your Professional Image:<\/strong> Attractive teeth are associated with youth, success, and confidence. Improving your smile will boost your self-esteem and ensure your teeth give the right impression to reach new career opportunities.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>You don&#8217;t have to spend another summer feeling less than your best. Invisalign can turn the smile of your dreams into reality using the clear choice in orthodontics.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Dr. David W.
