Clear aligners are discreet, convenient, and comfortable because there aren\u2019t any brackets or wires. You\u2019ll enjoy several freedoms with aligners, especially while traveling. You won\u2019t have to worry about missing adjustment appointments, skipping your favorite foods, or having anxieties about your smile. Whether for business or leisure, here are 5 tips you should know about traveling with Invisalign before hitting the road.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Pack the Essentials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your oral hygiene routine is vital during Invisalign treatment. Skipping brushing, flossing, or cleaning your aligners for only a few days can complicate your treatment. You can ensure nothing compromises your new smile by packing the essentials:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Toothbrush: <\/strong>A soft-bristled travel-sized toothbrush will make it easy to brush your teeth after every meal.<\/li><li><strong>Floss: <\/strong>Carry floss with you, so you can commit to flossing, even in between flights.<\/li><li><strong>Mouthwash:<\/strong> Bring a travel-sized mouthwash to neutralize anything bacteria left behind by your toothbrush and floss.<\/li><li><strong>Extra Aligners: <\/strong>Accidents happen. Bring extra aligners with you in case one breaks or is misplaced.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Storage Case:<\/strong> Avoid losing your aligners and keep them clean when they aren\u2019t in your mouth by placing them in their storage case.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Follow Your Routine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s easy to deviate from your daily routines when you\u2019re not at home, but try to stick to your oral hygiene habits. Take time to brush, floss, and clean your aligners. You\u2019ll keep your teeth and gums healthy while ensuring your aligners stay transparent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Stay Hydrated<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to stay hydrated to keep your mouth moist to reduce bacteria growth. Water will help keep your mouth clean in between brushing and flossing. If you will be leaving the country, check the safety of the area\u2019s public water source. If you shouldn\u2019t be drinking it, don\u2019t use it when brushing, either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Visit Your Dentist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you will be away from home for an extended time, schedule an appointment with your dentist before you leave. They\u2019ll check the progression of your treatment plans and ensure your smile is healthy, so there aren\u2019t any unexpected complications while you\u2019re on vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Commit to Your Treatment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to continue wearing your aligners for at least 22 hours per day. Don\u2019t forget to switch to the next aligner in the series on time. Setting a reminder on your phone can ensure there aren\u2019t any delays in your journey to a straight smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Safeguard Your Smile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Invisalign involves a lot of time and commitment. Don\u2019t let your travel plans leave a lasting mark on your new smile. With a little preparation, you can safeguard your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Dr. Clarine Green Hightower<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ambiancedentspa.com\/meet-dr-clarine-green-hightower.html\">Dr. Hightower<\/a> earned her dental degree from Howard University College of Dentistry.
