Last minute gift purchases, wrapping up projects at work, and occupying the kids while they\u2019re out of school are just a few of many tasks. While all of these activities are quite time consuming, it\u2019s important to stay on top of your orthodontic treatment. Dentists who treat misaligned teeth with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deandentalcare.com\/clear-aligners-orthodontics.html\">Invisalign<\/a> in Covington all agree; don\u2019t take a break from your treatment just because life is hectic! Read on to learn how to stay on top of your dental game while celebrating the holidays. <strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wear Your Aligners Often<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Invisalign aligners only work when you\u2019re wearing them. It\u2019s recommended that they be worn for up to 22 hours per day, and only removed to eat or drink. Failure to wear your aligners can keep you from achieving timely results, completely throwing off and prolonging your treatment plan. Setting a reminder in your phone every morning may be helpful if you find yourself forgetting to wear them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maintain Good Oral Hygiene<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Brushing twice a day, along with flossing on a regular basis is always important, but it\u2019s especially important when you undergo any orthodontic treatment. Any signs of oral health problems can delay your progress until the issue has been resolved. Good dental health helps in the long run, allowing your teeth to look great and feel healthy. <strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While brushing and flossing are easy to do at home, you may feel like slacking if you\u2019re traveling during the holidays. Remember to pack a travel sized toothpaste, a toothbrush, dental floss, and a small bottle of mouthwash to ensure your teeth are well taken care of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Remove Your Aligners When Necessary, Just Don\u2019t Forget Them!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The holiday season just isn\u2019t the same without staples such as hot chocolate or warm apple cider. While these are both delicious treats, try to refrain from drinking them while wearing your aligners. Warm liquids can potentially damage or alter the shape of the aligners. Although you can always get a replacement, this process takes valuable time away from your treatment, and will also add to your orthodontic expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While we\u2019re on the subject of removing aligners, it\u2019s important to remember where you put them! If you know you\u2019ll be eating away from home, make sure you bring your Invisalign case with you. Far too often Invisalign aligners are removed and placed on napkins while eating. They are later thrown away by mistake and by the time you notice, it\u2019s far too late to retrieve them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the right preparation, you can still enjoy the holidays while moving forward with your Invisalign treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Stephen Dean has considered dentistry to be a lifelong passion.
