Starting Orthodontics: Enjoy the Summer
Summer: An ideal time to start orthodontics…
Starting orthodontics is a critical step, and choosing the right time to begin this journey can greatly impact the overall treatment experience. Summer, with its more relaxed pace and less busy schedules, is an ideal time to begin orthodontic treatment. Find out why the summer months are the perfect time to schedule your first orthodontic consultation and set the stage for a radiant smile.
Benefits of Starting Orthodontics in Summer
Availability of Families
During the summer, the usual time constraints of school and extracurricular activities are reduced, making families generally more available for important appointments. This increased availability allows for unhurried consultations and the time needed to discuss the treatment plan in detail with the orthodontist.
Less impact at school level
Summer frees children and teens from academic pressures, which can make the orthodontic consultation much more enjoyable. Without school schedules, homework, or exams, young patients are often more relaxed and open during their clinic visit, allowing for a more effective and less stressful interaction for everyone.
PSYCHOLOGICAL BENEFITS OF STARTING ORTHODONTICS IN SUMMER
Adaptation time to orthodontic treatment
Starting orthodontic treatment in the summer gives children and teens valuable adjustment time. Before they return to school, they can get used to the idea of wearing braces, master the care required, and adjust their daily routine to their new device. This time can help ease the transition and reduce the apprehension associated with wearing braces.
Positive impact on self-image
Summer is also a great time to build self-esteem. By starting orthodontic treatments during this less stressful time, teens can see aesthetic improvements before the start of the school year, which can positively impact their self-image and confidence as they return to school.
At Archambault & Morton, (your orthodontic clinic in Vaudreuil-Dorion), we understand the importance of a personalized approach to meet the unique needs of our patients.
Rest assured, Dr. Amy Archambault and Dr. Paul Morton are orthodontists yes, but above all understanding and caring humans.

PREPARING FOR THE BACK TO SCHOOL
Summer offers a unique opportunity to integrate new routines before the school year begins. For young patients beginning orthodontic treatment, this means being able to adjust their daily lives without the pressure of school obligations.
- Adjusting to Braces: The first few weeks with braces may require adjustments in terms of comfort and care. Taking advantage of the summer allows children to adjust to their new equipment without interfering with their school life.
- Dental Hygiene: Learning how to effectively clean around braces is crucial. Summer provides the time needed to develop a solid dental hygiene routine.
- Diet: There are certain foods that should be avoided with braces. Summer is a great time to get used to these new eating habits.
TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL FIRST CONSULTATION
For the first meeting with the orthodontist to be successful, good preparation is essential. Here are some tips to maximize this first visit:
- Questions to Ask: Prepare a list of questions to ask the orthodontist regarding treatment options, duration, estimated costs, and expected results.
- Financial Implications: Discuss financing options and payment plans available. Understanding financial aspects can help plan treatment more effectively.
- Child Involvement: Encourage your child to ask questions and express concerns. This can help reduce anxiety and make the experience more positive.
