It\u2019s easy to maintain your treatment plan and care for your aligners while you\u2019re at home, but what about when you\u2019re traveling? Whether for personal or professional purposes, don\u2019t let a trip away from home delay your treatment. Here are 4 tips to make traveling with Invisalign easier, so nothing stands in your way of achieving a beautiful smile.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>1. Pack Your Dental Essentials<\/h2>\n<p>Create a travel kit containing everything you need to care for your teeth, gums, and aligners while you\u2019re on the road. It\u2019s best to include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Travel Toothbrushes:<\/strong> Consider packing more than one to make it easy to brush your teeth while on the go. Don\u2019t forget to bring a nonabrasive toothpaste.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Floss: <\/strong>Even if you\u2019re traveling, you still need to floss between each tooth daily.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mouthwash: <\/strong>An antimicrobial mouthwash will clean areas missed by your toothbrush and floss.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Extra Aligners:<\/strong> If you\u2019ll be gone for more than a week, you might need to change your aligners. Be sure to pack the next one in your series.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Storage Case: <\/strong>You\u2019ll still need to wear your aligners for at least 22 hours per day but bring your storage case with you to keep them safe when they aren\u2019t in your mouth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>2. Stick to Your Routine<\/h2>\n<p>Although your environment will be different, stick to your usual oral hygiene routine, including brushing twice a day and flossing every night. Be sure to clean your aligners using a soft-bristled toothbrush and clear antibacterial soap to avoid any unnecessary dental complications. Despite any temptations to remove your aligners, only take them out when eating or drinking anything except water. If you don\u2019t wear your aligners for the right amount of time, you can fall behind on your progress.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Know Your Water Source<\/h2>\n<p>Not all tap water is safe. If it\u2019s not recommended you drink it, you shouldn\u2019t be using it to brush your teeth or clean your aligners. If you\u2019re heading to an area that doesn\u2019t have a safe water source, pack bottled water to avoid getting sick while also ensuring your smile and aligners stay clean.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Let Your Dentist Know<\/h2>\n<p>Although you don\u2019t require appointments for adjustments, you still need to visit your dentist every few weeks to monitor the movement of your teeth. If you\u2019re going to miss an upcoming appointment, let your dentist know. Depending on how long you\u2019re gone, they may ask you to come into the office before you leave.<\/p>\n<p>With a little preparation, you won\u2019t have to worry about any interruptions to your treatment plan. You can enjoy your travels while continuing to achieve your dream smile.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Dr. Warren Zahner<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zahnerdental.com\/dr-warren-zahner.html\">Dr. Zahner<\/a> is a graduate of the University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine and a member of various dental organizations, including the American Dental Association.
