Along with taking trips away from home comes the planning and packing process. If you have Invisalign, you have one extra item on your list of essentials to make sure you don\u2019t forget. Keep reading to learn a few ways you can help make <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theoakbrookdentist.com\/invisalign.html\">traveling with Invisalign<\/a> easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for Traveling with Invisalign<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Being in unfamiliar settings can often throw off your routine. It might mean you place your Invisalign trays in a strange spot, or perhaps someone in your shared space moves them. There are a multitude of possibilities that can happen while traveling with Invisalign, so check out these tips that can help you focus on enjoying your holiday rather than fussing with aligners:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep Up with Your Normal Oral Hygiene and Cleaning Routine<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best ways to maintain normalcy in a different environment or on a different schedule, is to keep up with your regular routine. If you typically take your aligners out at a certain time of day to clean them, try to be diligent about doing so even while you\u2019re away from home. Also make sure that you are placing them in a safe spot, out of the reach of pets or children. It can also be easy to fall out of the habit of the mandatory 22 hours of wear time, but make sure you\u2019re still taking care to wear your trays as long as recommended so that the treatment time is not extended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pack Extra Aligners<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You never know what might happen, so it\u2019s always good to have an extra set of aligners. If something happens to one of your trays while you\u2019re out of town, your dentist won\u2019t be able to see you right away for a quick replacement. Make sure to ask for an extra set before you leave so that you can be prepared for any possible circumstance that may arise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Be Mindful of the Tap Water<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are traveling internationally, there are some countries where it is not advisable or safe to drink the tap water. If this is the case where you are going, make sure to have purified water to rinse your aligners with to keep from getting ill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tell Your Dentist About Your Travel Plans<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Although your dentist can\u2019t be with you on your trip to fix any issues that may arise with your aligners, letting them know that you\u2019re going to be traveling with your Invisalign trays is still a good idea. They may have some additional suggestions that you hadn\u2019t thought of that can help make the process smoother for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even with Invisalign, you deserve to enjoy your time away from home without having to be concerned about losing or damaging your aligners. Talk to you dentist about how you can best take care of them while you\u2019re traveling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The team of expert Dentists at Oakbrook Dental &amp; Orthodontics looks forward to helping patients achieve straighter smiles. It is their priority to make sure everyone they treat has the knowledge and tools to get the most out of their investment in Invisalign. If you\u2019re ready to talk about straightening your smile, schedule a consultation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theoakbrookdentist.com\/invisalign.html\">online<\/a> or call <strong>(469) 526-4040<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The end of the year often involves traveling to see family and friends or making plans for next year\u2019s vacation sites.
