If you\u2019re undergoing treatment with clear aligners, you\u2019ll need to make sure you follow all your dentist\u2019s instructions to avoid a potential delay. To better prepare you for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chaskadental.com\/invisalign.html\">traveling with Invisalign<\/a>, here are four tips to consider that will help keep your smile on track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meet With Your Dentist Before You Go<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before leaving on your trip, make sure to schedule an appointment with your dentist. During this visit, they can examine your smile to ensure everything is moving forward correctly and that you do not have any potential areas of concern that might hinder your time wearing Invisalign while you\u2019re away. It is also helpful because your dental team can go over a few things that will help you remain focused on your Invisalign treatment during your vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pack Your Oral Hygiene Travel Kit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When packing, make sure you create a small travel kit that consists of all your oral hygiene and Invisalign must-haves. These should include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A travel-sized toothbrush and toothpaste<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dental floss<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ADA-approved mouthwash<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A protective case to keep your aligners in while eating and drinking<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maintain Your Normal Routine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Vacations often mean staying up late and sleeping in, but you should make sure that no matter what time you go to bed or wake up that you practice good oral hygiene habits. That means staying on top of your routine and making sure you brush and floss as well as clean your aligners. Instead of using regular toothpaste, however, you\u2019ll need to use clear soap and lukewarm water. A key factor to remember is that depending on where you\u2019re traveling, you may need to bring or request bottled water, as you want to make sure it is clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bring Additional Aligners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Because there is a chance that you might lose or damage an aligner while away on your trip, you\u2019ll want to go ahead and bring extra trays with you. This can minimize the potential for a significant delay in treatment, allowing you to stay on track. Also, you\u2019ll need to bring them anyway, as you may be required to switch them out during this timeframe anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Traveling with Invisalign doesn\u2019t have to be a hassle. Just make sure you\u2019re following your dentist\u2019s instructions, and you\u2019ll not only have a wonderful time away, but you\u2019ll be that much closer to a straighter, healthier smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Authors<br><\/strong>Dr. Aaron Swingdorf is here to help you take back your smile using Invisalign.
