Summer isn’t just about sunshine and vacations—it’s also one of the best times to begin your teen’s orthodontic journey. At Griggs Orthodontics, we specialize in creating happy and healthy smiles with expert care and a warm, welcoming experience that makes every patient feel right at home. And for many families in our community, summer offers the ideal moment to get started.
Here are the top five reasons why summer is the perfect time to begin braces:
1. A More Comfortable Adjustment Period
The first days with braces can bring a little soreness and some new routines. Summer gives your teen the space to adjust without the pressure of school schedules, sports practices, or social stress. They’ll have time to ease into brushing and flossing with braces, get comfortable with their new smile, and build confidence—all in a more relaxed environment.
2. Minimal Disruption to School and Activities
Starting braces during summer means fewer interruptions once school starts. By the time fall arrives, your teen will already be settled into their treatment plan, helping them stay focused on classes, extracurriculars, and friends. At Griggs Orthodontics, we’re here to support your family with personalized care that fits your lifestyle.
3. Flexible Scheduling for Busy Families
We know how hectic summer calendars can be. That’s why our schedule is designed to be more flexible during this season, making it easier to find appointment times that work for your family. Whether you’re traveling or managing multiple commitments, our team at Griggs Orthodontics makes it simple to get started—on your terms.
4. A Head Start on Their Smile
Why wait to begin a smile transformation? Starting treatment in the summer gives your teen a head start—so by the time school’s back in session, they’re already seeing exciting changes. At Griggs Orthodontics, your child will receive expert, compassionate care from Dr. Griggs and our dedicated team, with a focus on building confidence from the inside out.
5. Confidence That Carries Into the School Year
Braces are about more than straight teeth—they’re about helping your teen feel great about themselves. Starting in summer means your teen heads into the school year feeling proud, supported, and on their way to a confident new smile. We believe in creating lasting relationships with families and empowering every patient through expert care and genuine connection.
