This means that whether you\u2019re heading out just for a weekend getaway or taking a long, overseas trip, you don\u2019t have to pause or worry about your orthodontic treatment. With a little preparation and know-how, you can keep your aligners clean, cared-for, and effective while you travel. Here\u2019s how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip #1. Bring a Travel-Sized Invisalign Kit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s wise to keep a small Invisalign kit in your backpack, carry-on, or purse that includes your Invisalign case, a travel-sized toothbrush, dental floss, cleaning crystals, and extra aligners if you know you\u2019ll need to swap while you\u2019re away from home. Having everything you need in one place makes it easier to stay on top of things and also helps prevent you from losing your aligners. It\u2019s also smart <em>not<\/em> to put these things in any bags that are being checked\u2014keep them close by for the sake of your smile! &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip #2. Stick to Your Recommended Wear Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Traveling also often means new time zones, busy schedules filled with tours and sightseeing, and meals on the go. It\u2019s still important to wear your aligners for the required 22 hours each day, only removing them to brush your teeth or eat (and be sure to pop them back in as soon as you\u2019re done to keep things on track). If you have a smartphone or watch with you, you can set a timer or reminder to help you keep up with this\u2014which isn\u2019t a bad idea to implement at home, either!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip #3. Keep Your Aligners Clean While Traveling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It might be harder to keep up with your hygiene while traveling, but you should make this a priority if you wear Invisalign. Rinse your aligners with water every time you remove them, brush and floss after meals, and use cleaning crystals as needed to keep them fresh. Also, refrain from eating or drinking while wearing them, as this can cause damage or staining to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Traveling with Invisalign does require a little extra planning, but it shouldn\u2019t stop you from enjoying your trip! By packing the right dental accessories, sticking to your routine, and keeping your aligners safe, you\u2019ll return home with your smile one step closer to the results you\u2019ve been waiting for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our team here at University Dental Group has proudly served patients in Worcester and the surrounding area for several years, offering a wide variety of services, including Invisalign clear aligners for patients looking for a more convenient, travel-friendly orthodontic solution.
