August Smiles: Back-to-School, Back to Braces!

As summer winds down and school gears up, August is the perfect time to refocus on routines—including orthodontic care! Whether you're a student heading back to class or a parent helping your child prepare, now’s a great moment to check in on those braces, aligners, and healthy smile habits.

Back-to-School, Braces Edition

Getting ready for a new school year often means shopping for supplies, setting schedules, and adjusting sleep routines. Don’t forget to include braces-friendly snacks, a travel toothbrush, and maybe even some extra wax in that backpack! A little prep goes a long way when it comes to keeping treatment on track during busy school days.

At Perennial Smiles, we love helping our patients feel confident in their smiles all year long—and that includes giving you tips to make the school transition a breeze.

Smile Goals for Fall

August is also a smart time to book a check-up or consultation if your child has been recommended for orthodontic care. Early fall is often less hectic than the holidays, and starting treatment now means visible progress by the new year!

Quick Tips for Success:

• Stay on top of elastics or aligner wear—even during sports or after-school activities.
• Pack water instead of sugary drinks to help protect enamel and appliances.
• Keep up with hygiene: brushing after lunch at school helps avoid plaque buildup.

If you or your child are ready to start your smile journey, Perennial Smiles would love to help! Our team will guide you through all the options—from traditional braces to clear aligners—so you can find the perfect fit for your lifestyle.
