With your Invisalign<\/a> treatment well underway this season, celebrating may look and feel a little different. That\u2019s because with aligners, you\u2019ll need to make some temporary lifestyle changes for the duration of your treatment. But don\u2019t let these modifications stop you from enjoying yourself. Here are four important things to remember about wearing Invisalign during the holidays that will help you enjoy the festivities without hurting your progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Keep Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With Invisalign, it\u2019s important to wear your aligners for 22 hours each day. This includes holidays, so be sure to follow the same guidelines for eating and cleaning your teeth and gums that you do on any other day.  Limit snacking and be sure to leave enough time to brush and floss your teeth before your aligners need to go back on. If you need help managing your time, there are several apps available in most smartphone app stores that can assist you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t Lose It<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The holidays can be stressful and with a flourish of activity from visitors and traveling, it can be easy to misplace things like your aligners. To help keep track of them, be sure to keep them in their storage case so they don\u2019t get dirty when you take them off, and so they don\u2019t get accidentally misplaced or thrown away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep it Clean<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s important to keep your teeth and gums clean when wearing Invisalign. This will help prevent bad breath and cavities, and your aligners from looking dirty. Thus, be sure to brush and floss each time you eat and brush each time you drink anything other than water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take Them Out<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Finally, it may seem less of a hassle to go ahead and try sipping that hot cocoa or eggnog with your aligners in, but this is a bad idea. For starters, this can allow bits of food or liquid to get caught between your teeth and your aligners. This can damage your teeth and gums as well as make your aligners dingy. Worse yet, if you drink anything too hot while wearing them, you can permanently damage them, so do yourself a favor and make sure you take them out every time you eat anything besides cold or room-temperature water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t let the hustle and bustle of the holidays stand in the way of progressing on your Invisalign journey. Be sure to stay on plan to the best of your ability to keep your teeth and gums healthy and your orthodontic treatment on track all year long!
