At Wilson & Hendrickson Orthodontics, we aim to do all we can to provide all of our patients with the most convenient orthodontic care possible. No matter what orthodontic treatment option you choose, we want to make sure that you receive the care that you deserve. While you may not realize it, one of the ways that you can improve the efficiency and convenience of orthodontic treatment is actually by scheduling it during the summer. We’d like to give you a few reasons why.

Scheduling Is Simpler

Summer’s here and school’s finally out. While this can mean sun, barbecues, and swimming, it also means more time to schedule an orthodontic appointment! While we know that’s not at the top of the list when it comes to summer activities, the truth is that a student typically doesn’t have that much free time to schedule appointments during the school year. Classes will usually need to be skipped in order to make these appointments. Combine that with having to fit in follow-up visits and potential readjustments, and it can be a hassle. Get an orthodontic treatment off to a good start by scheduling during the summer.

There’s Time to Acclimate

Braces and other orthodontic treatments are going to take some time to get used to in the beginning – that’s just a fact. Whether it’s figuring out what foods can be eaten to getting the oral hygiene process down perfectly, there may be some annoyances in the beginning. This is just another reason why the summer is perfect for orthodontics. Summers tend to be lazy, allowing a patient more time and freedom to get adjusted to braces without having to worry too much about other things.

A Growth Spurt Can Be Beneficial

One of the biggest reasons why orthodontics is performed more frequently on adolescents is because their cases will lead to the most efficient results. The reason why orthodontics is so effective on children and teenagers is that they’re still growing. Having said that, it may be surprising for you to know that children are actually most likely to have a growth spurt during the summer. By visiting a Topeka orthodontist in the summer, the efficiency of the treatment will be optimized.
