Invisalign<\/a> has become an incredibly popular way to get a straighter smile, due in large part to its convenience. However, as easy as they are to deal with, dental hygiene can definitely fall by the wayside when things get stressful. The holiday season is one time of year when that\u2019s likely to happen. In all the commotion, it\u2019s important to hold in mind a few key principles that can keep you on the right track. Here are a few things to remember about Invisalign this holiday season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Wear Aligner for 20-22 hours<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The most important thing when it comes to Invisalign is wearing your aligners for the recommended amount of time, 20-22 hours a day. Essentially, whenever you aren\u2019t eating or cleaning them, you should have your aligners in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the holidays, it can be tempting to snack on leftovers throughout the day, and to keep your aligners out while you do so. Instead, you should just have large meals filling enough that you won\u2019t be tempted to graze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clean After Eating<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The other difficulty when it comes to eating with Invisalign is taking the time to clean your aligner once you\u2019ve finished. When things are busy during the holidays, or if you\u2019re going out to eat with family, it might be challenging to find the time to brush and floss after meals. However, if you replace your aligner without cleaning your teeth first, you trap in all the food. This gives them plenty of time to feed the bacteria in your mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you struggle with cleaning your aligner after meals, getting a travel dental kit might help. These contain portable versions of toothbrushes, toothpaste, floss, mouthwash, and dental wax. Travel dental kits can fit easily in a purse, and some are even small enough to fit in a pocket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hold On to your Aligner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you\u2019re traveling, you need to be careful not to lose your aligner. If you don\u2019t have one already, get a personalized carrying case for your aligner when you take it out. You should also avoid leaving your aligner on a tray or in a napkin, both of which make it easier to accidentally throw it away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, the most important thing is to keep doing the things you\u2019re already doing to take care of your aligners. The more consistent you are with your Invisalign treatment, the sooner you\u2019ll be able to see results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
