New Year, New Smile: Why January Is the Perfect Time to Start Orthodontic Treatment

The New Year is all about fresh starts, new routines, and setting goals you’ll actually stick to. If a healthier, more confident smile has been on your wish list, January is the perfect time to take the first step. At Perennial Smiles, we love helping patients kick off the year with a plan for straighter teeth and improved oral health.

Why Start Braces or Invisalign in January?

January is one of the most popular months to begin orthodontic treatment—and for good reason:

• New Year motivation: It’s easier to commit to long-term goals when you’re already in a goal-setting mindset.
• Insurance benefits reset: Many dental and orthodontic insurance plans renew in January, which may help maximize your benefits.
• A head start on your smile: Starting now means you’ll already be seeing progress by summer.

Whether you’re considering traditional braces or clear aligners like Invisalign, there’s no better time than the beginning of the year to invest in your smile.

Braces vs. Invisalign: Which Is Right for You?

Every smile is different, and that’s why we offer multiple orthodontic treatment options.

• Braces are a reliable, effective solution for correcting more complex alignment issues and bite problems.
• Invisalign is a popular choice for teens and adults looking for a discreet way to straighten their teeth.

During your consultation, Dr. Morgan will help determine the best option for your lifestyle, goals, and dental needs.

Make 2026 the Year of a Healthier Smile

Orthodontic treatment isn’t just about aesthetics—straight teeth are easier to clean and can help prevent future dental issues. By starting treatment now, you’re setting yourself up for better oral health and a confident smile that lasts a lifetime.

If improving your smile is one of your New Year’s resolutions, we’d love to help you make it happen. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Stephanie Morgan and let’s make this the year you fall in love with your smile.
