You don\u2019t need to sacrifice having an amazing time for a straighter smile, or vice versa. Invisalign treatment allows you to get the most out of your trip, all without having to put your treatment on hold. Read on for five tips to help make traveling with Invisalign easier than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bring Your Next Set of Aligners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you\u2019ll be on vacation for a few days and you won\u2019t need to switch to your next series of trays in that time, be sure to still bring an extra set of aligners. That way, in case you lose or accidentally damage your current Invisalign trays, you\u2019ll have a backup that you can use so your treatment timeline doesn\u2019t get stalled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pack a Travel Oral Hygiene Kit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Oral hygiene is crucial while you\u2019re undergoing Invisalign treatment. Be sure to pack everything you\u2019ll need to clean both your trays and your teeth, and if you\u2019re flying, make sure that all of your items are travel-sized so you won\u2019t have to throw them away while you\u2019re going through TSA. Be sure to pack the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A soft-bristled toothbrush for your teeth and an additional one for your trays<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dental floss or flossing picks, whichever you prefer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Alcohol-free mouthwash<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make Sure the Tap Water is Safe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re going somewhere where the tap water may not be safe for you to drink, then you should also avoid brushing your teeth with it. Be sure to know this beforehand, and if this is the case, purchase bottled water to clean your aligners and teeth with. This will keep you from getting sick on your trip!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Let Your Dentist Know Before You Leave<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you set out for your trip, be sure to let your dentist know where you\u2019re going and for how long you\u2019ll be gone! They may need to order you an extra set of trays before you set out on your trip, depending on the length of your vacation. They can give you helpful travel tips as well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don\u2019t Slack on Your At-Home Routine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though you\u2019ll be ready to hit the beach or go on an adventure, it\u2019s important that you don\u2019t become too relaxed when it comes to brushing, flossing, and cleaning your Invisalign trays. Be sure to continue brushing your teeth after every meal, before you put your aligners back in your mouth, and cleaning your trays regularly with clear soap and water. You can also bring Invisalign cleaning crystals with you to soak your trays in. Maintaining a good oral hygiene routine while you\u2019re traveling can keep you from developing oral health problems that can set back your treatment timeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Practice<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Smileworks General &amp; Cosmetic Dentistry, our team is comprised of six highly skilled and compassionate dentists who believe collaboration is the best way to offer patients five-star care and service.
