School’s almost out, and it’s the perfect time to give your child a smart start on orthodontic treatment. Summer break offers a low-stress window to begin braces or aligners, giving kids time to adjust before school resumes. With fewer distractions and more freedom in the schedule, this season can be the best opportunity to kick off their smile transformation.

Why Summer Works Best

  • Flexible Scheduling
    Orthodontic appointments are easier to manage when you’re not juggling school, sports, and after-school activities. Starting now means no rushed after-school visits or missed class time.
  • Smooth Transition Period
    New appliances like braces can take some getting used to. Summer gives your child a chance to adjust at home, where meals can be softer, and routines can be relaxed while they learn new cleaning habits and get comfortable with their treatment.
  • Boosted Confidence for the School Year
    Kids who begin treatment during the summer often return to school feeling more confident. They’ve had time to adapt to their appliances and any changes in appearance, making it easier to face peers with a positive attitude.

Choosing to begin orthodontics in summer isn’t just convenient—it can improve treatment success by starting early and keeping the schedule consistent.
