You&#8217;ll want to make your trip soon if you haven&#8217;t already. With that said, maybe you&#8217;re not sure how to travel with your clear aligner <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plantationdentalstudio.com\/orthodontics.html\">trays<\/a>. Your Plantation dentist is happy to help with that concern, so please don&#8217;t fret or worry; in fact, clear aligners can be a very travel-friendly form of orthodontic treatment. To ensure you make the most of this summer, here are four great tips for traveling with clear aligners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pack the Essentials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Besides the aligners themselves, you\u2019ll need to pack a few other essentials to keep your trays working. These include the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>A Travel Toothbrush (or Two)<\/strong> \u2013 Always brush your aligners and teeth before and after wearing them. So, pack multiple toothbrushes in your luggage, such as your suitcase, carry-on, and handbag.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dental Floss<\/strong> \u2013 Make sure to bring dental floss (or a similar flossing tool) on your trip. That way, you can clean between your teeth and keep debris out of your trays.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Travel-Size Mouthwash<\/strong> \u2013 A toothbrush can\u2019t remove all the debris from your mouth. Given that fact, bring travel-size mouthwash that can clear areas a toothbrush won\u2019t reach.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Remember Your Routines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even if you take a vacation from work, you can\u2019t do the same with your trays. Maintain your aligner routines just as you would if you were at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The aligner treatment process simply doesn\u2019t allow for \u201cbreaks.\u201d If you don\u2019t wear (and clean) your trays properly, you\u2019ll increase your risk of oral issues and delay the alignment work. Those effects aren\u2019t worth the short-lived sense of freedom from skipping routines. Given that fact, remember to set teeth cleaning and wear time reminders for yourself; they\u2019ll keep you from falling behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bring Some Spare Trays<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Just to be safe, it\u2019s a good idea to bring extra or \u201cspare\u201d aligners on your trip. You\u2019ll then ensure your treatment stays on track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don\u2019t forget that clear aligners are small and nearly invisible. Due to such traits, the trays are very easy to misplace over time; such a loss could cause major treatment delays. To prevent this outcome, bring spare aligners from your previous set that you can use if you lose your original ones. They\u2019ll keep your trip from becoming an orthodontic disaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check the Tap Water<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last but not least, please check the local tap water for safety. Its condition affects how you should perform oral care during your trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tap water that isn\u2019t safe to drink isn\u2019t good for brushing and rinsing. Indeed, using it would increase your odds of oral problems and potentially damage your trays. You should instead use bottled water when your tap water is unsafe, as it\u2019ll keep your teeth and trays strong and stable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more tips on traveling with clear aligners, consult your dentist. They\u2019ll gladly share relevant details!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.plantationdentalstudio.com\/\">Plantation Dental Studio and Implant Center<\/a> is based in Plantation, FL.
