Plenty of people have enjoyed their vacations while straightening out their smiles. A successful Invisalign adventure will take some forethought, so here are some dentist-approved tips that will help keep you on track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pack Smarter, Not Harder<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You <em>could <\/em>shove everything you need into one suitcase \u2013 or you could strategically place your essentials so they\u2019re well within reach. For example, if you\u2019re flying, be sure to put your toothbrush, floss, and aligner case in a carry-on or personal bag. If you\u2019re traveling by car, you have a little more flexibility with how you arrange your luggage, but in both cases, you might have to remove your Invisalign so you can have a snack or meal. Easy access to your case and cleaning tools will make getting to your destination far less stressful!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Take Extra Aligners, Just in Case<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You never know what might happen on a trip. What if you leave your aligners near the hotel sink? Or drop them between the driver\u2019s seat and the center console? Having an extra set of Invisalign on-hand could save your treatment progress in a pinch. Plus, depending on where you are in your treatment, you might have to talk to your dentist about bringing along your next-step trays anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Above All Else, Maintain Your Routine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even when you\u2019re on vacation, it\u2019s really important to maintain your Invisalign care routine. That includes rinsing your aligners after removing them and before inserting them, cleaning them more thoroughly twice per day, brushing and flossing your teeth, and removing your trays before sampling local dishes. Oh, and of course, wearing your clear aligners for 21 hours every day! If you don\u2019t stick to these habits, you could end up with stained trays or a prolonged treatment time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check in With Your Dentist Before You Leave<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, consider checking in with your dentist before you set out on your trip. They would be happy to examine your smile in-person, but can also give you more personalized tips over the phone if you\u2019re leaving soon. Keeping them in the loop about your plans will definitely help you make sure you\u2019re well-prepared for a summer vacation with Invisalign!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.drgeorgesalem.com\/meet-dr-khorashadi.html\">Dr. Shahrzad Khorashadi<\/a> is our certified orthodontist here at Dr. George Salem &amp; Associates.
