Invisalign<\/a> continues to gain popularity as an effective alternative to traditional braces. The clear plastic aligners fit over your teeth to move them to their ideal placements without the need for bulky metal brackets and wires. That said, because they\u2019re not permanently installed, you\u2019re more likely to interfere with your treatment timeline by losing or damaging your aligners. This can be especially true when you travel because your routine is interrupted, and you don\u2019t have all the same supplies with you. If you have a trip coming up, keep reading for 4 tips to maintain your Invisalign when you\u2019re away!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Tip #1: Set a Timer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You already know that it\u2019s important to wear your aligners 22 hours every day to prevent your teeth from reverting to their previous positions. However, when you\u2019re traveling it\u2019s tempting to let that fall by the wayside. It\u2019s much more relaxing to sip drinks by the pool all day and forget about your pearly whites. Doing so can hinder your progress, though. Instead, set a timer while you\u2019re eating and drinking to remind you to put your Invisalign back in so that you don\u2019t fall too far behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #2: Bring Extra Aligners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If possible, try to take an extra set of trays with you on your journey. You wouldn\u2019t be the first patient to accidentally throw theirs out after nibbling snacks on a long flight or misplace them once you arrive at your destination. Having backups, even if it\u2019s an older tray, is better than having none at all. If you don\u2019t have any spares and something happens while you\u2019re away, don\u2019t panic. Contact your dentist to let them know so they can be ready to get you back on track when you come home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #3: Check the Water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Depending on where you go, you might not have access to drinkable tap water. If it\u2019s not safe to consume, you probably shouldn\u2019t brush your teeth or rinse your aligners with it, either. In that case, only use bottled water when cleaning your mouth. Be sure to take bottles with you if you\u2019re spending long hours on a bus, plane, or train for the same reason. You\u2019ll need water to rinse your mouth as well as your plastic trays after any mid-journey meals and might not have any other source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #4: Make a List<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a lot to take care of before you can head out on your trip, like ensuring your home is secure and that there\u2019s a plan in place for someone to care for your pets. Between that and packing enough outfits or making sure you have all the right chargers, it\u2019s easy to forget hygiene basics. Write out a list so that you won\u2019t forget your toothbrush, floss, mouthwash, additional aligners if you have them, and their carry case for storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that you\u2019ve prepared properly to preserve your smile while you\u2019re away!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
