It\u2019s officially that magical time of the year everyone looks forward to \u2013 the holiday season! Many people are excited to travel back home, reconnect with loved ones, and partake in all the festivities that are to come. However, don\u2019t forget to follow your Invisalign treatment plan amidst all the fun and excitement. If you need help staying on track while away from home, we\u2019ve got you covered. Read on as a dentist in Edison shares a few tips to help you stick to the plan while traveling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Meet the Recommended Wear-Time Every Day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Invisalign<\/a> aligners use constant gentle pressure to move teeth into more ideal positions. Because of that, they must be worn at least 20 to 22 hours per day to ensure successful treatment. Neglecting to do so can interfere with your alignment plan and increase your chances of experiencing discomfort throughout the process. Since the hustle and bustle of the holidays can make you forget to wear them, consider setting an alarm on your cell phone to remind you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Always Carry Your Storage Case<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some people make the mistake of putting their Invisalign aligners in a napkin or on a countertop while eating. Unfortunately, this causes their trays to either be misplaced or accidentally thrown away. Although it may not seem like a big deal, it can significantly delay your treatment plan. The good news is you can prevent accidents like this from happening by carrying your designated storage case with you at all times. Every time you remove the plastic trays, don\u2019t forget to store them in your case!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brush and Floss After Eating<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even if it\u2019s just a snack, you must brush and floss your teeth after eating to remove the small food particles that get stuck between them. Otherwise, these harmful substances can increase your risk of decay, cavities, and even bad breath. While preparing your suitcase, make sure you pack an on-the-go kit that contains a travel-sized toothbrush, toothpaste, and dental floss. You can also include mouthwash to rinse your mouth thoroughly before slipping the aligners back in your mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t Forget to Remove Your Aligners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While drinking hot chocolate, you may think it\u2019s okay to take a few sips while wearing your Invisalign aligners. However, that can actually be highly damaging. Once the hot liquid touches the trays, it can warp the structure and interfere with your treatment. If your aligners are bent out of shape, it can cause you to experience discomfort when advancing to the next set because your teeth are not prepared for that step. That said, you should always remember to remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything that\u2019s not water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By following the tips outlined above, you can stay on track with your Invisalign plan this holiday season and achieve your perfect, straight smile in no time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
