Your Essential Travel Kit: Pack a small, dedicated bag with these must-haves:
Eating & Drinking On The Go:
Handling Minor Issues: A poking wire? Apply ortho wax! For broken brackets or severe pain, contact our office immediately. We can guide you on next steps or schedule a visit for your return.
Staying On Track (Invisalign Specific): Consistency is vital! Aim for 20-22 hours of wear time daily, even when enjoying your vacation. Switch aligners as planned to keep your treatment on schedule.
General Care: Stay hydrated! Drinking plenty of water helps keep your mouth clean and hydrated, especially important when trying new foods or spending time outdoors.
