If you\u2019ve got an upcoming trip or vacation planned, you\u2019re probably looking forward to getting away from it all and enjoying yourself\u2014but what you shouldn\u2019t<\/em> be worrying about is your Invisalign<\/a> treatment! And since it\u2019s very important to wear your aligners often enough and keep tabs on them, you might feel like it\u2019s going to be pretty difficult to do so while you\u2019re on vacation. Fortunately, your dentist is here to help with these four useful tips that\u2019ll let you enjoy your trip without compromising your treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Tip #1. Pack the Essentials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Be sure that you\u2019re taking absolutely everything that you need with you on your trip: a jacket, the right pair of shoes, and of course, all your oral hygiene products and Invisalign equipment! Your toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, mouthwash, aligner case, and next set of trays all need to be in your bag\u2014preferably your carry-on!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #2. Maintain Your Hygiene Routine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Just because you\u2019re going on vacation does not <\/em>mean that you should be taking a vacation from your oral hygiene routine! You need to continue to brush your teeth after every meal as mandated by your Invisalign guidelines, and you also need to ensure that you\u2019re flossing and rinsing as usual too. It\u2019s pretty easy to neglect your 22-hour mandatory wear time if you\u2019re on vacation, too, so ensure that you\u2019re being diligent about wearing your trays!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #3. Be Mindful of Tap Water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even though tap water is normally very beneficial for your oral health (due to the addition of fluoride, a naturally occurring mineral that benefits your enamel), you should double-check that the water supply of your destination is okay to drink or use for brushing your teeth\u2014you wouldn\u2019t want to get sick! If you\u2019re ever in doubt, use bottled water instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tip #4. Let Your Orthodontist Know<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s in your best interest to schedule a visit with your orthodontist before you head out for your trip; one last checkup can ensure that your treatment plan stays on track while you\u2019re away. This will allow your provider to make any adjustments to your timeline (if necessary), but more importantly, it\u2019ll give you the peace of mind to allow you to enjoy your trip while your treatment progresses as normal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By following these tips, you can rest assured that your travel plans will not impact your Invisalign treatment at all! This means that no matter where your destination is, you\u2019ll still be actively working towards a straighter and healthier smile while enjoying your time away!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
