Whether you plan to travel or stay home for the holidays this year, staying on track with your Invisalign<\/a> treatment is the only way you can reach your goal of achieving a straighter set of teeth in the new year. To do this, you don\u2019t have to deprive yourself of all your favorite meals and social gatherings. However, there are four helpful tips you can keep in mind as you spend the holidays with family and friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Make Sure You Follow the 20-22-Hour Wear Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Invisalign requires you to wear your aligners 20-22 hours a day. This is to ensure your teeth continue to move in the right direction with the appropriate amount of pressure. Failing to wear your trays because you\u2019re always snacking or prefer to go without can lead to a delay, prolonging your treatment time and results. There are various apps available for download that can help you adhere to your necessary wear time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep a Protective Case With You<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019re not wearing your aligners, make sure to keep them in a protective case. It\u2019s too easy to accidentally throw them away or lose them if you place them in a napkin while eating. Using a protective case shields them from possible damage and keeps them from being exposed to harmful airborne particles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remove Your Aligners Before Eating<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You are never supposed to eat while wearing your Invisalign aligners. It is too easy for them to become damaged because of your bite force. You should plan to remove them beforehand so that they remain safe. Just be sure to rinse your mouth and your trays before reinserting them after mealtime so that no food particles or bacteria are transferred between the two. Also, try to avoid snacking too often, as this requires you to remove your aligners, which can make it harder to meet your wear time each day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay On Top of Your Oral Hygiene Routine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Brushing and flossing your teeth each day is necessary if you want to avoid dental decay, gum disease, etc. You should also be sure to rinse and clean your aligners every morning and night. Although the holidays may entice you to stay up late or sleep in on your days off, don\u2019t neglect your oral hygiene routine if you want your smile to stay healthy and strong throughout treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Give yourself the gift of a straighter, healthier smile. Staying on track with your Invisalign will ensure you enjoy a new and improved set of pearly whites in the coming year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
