🎄Holiday Tips for Retainer & Aligner Care!
Traveling, snacking, and holiday fun can make it easy to forget about your orthodontic routine; but keeping your retainers and clear aligners safe is the key to protecting your smile all season long! Here’s how to keep everything clean, secure, and holiday-ready:
🧼1. Clean them daily: Rinse and gently brush your retainers or aligners with lukewarm water to keep them fresh and clear.
🎁2. Protect your appliances: If you’re wearing retainers or clear aligners, don’t wrap them in napkins at holiday dinners - they get thrown away! Always store them in their case.🗑️
🍽️3. No eating or drinking with aligners in: Stick to water only to prevent staining and damage. Enjoy the holiday treats after removing them!
🧳4. Pack a mini travel kit: Include your case, toothbrush, toothpaste, and cleaning solutions - perfect for holiday trips.
🗓️5. Stay consistent: Wear your retainers or aligners as instructed, even with the holiday schedule. And make sure that you are staying up-to-date with your ortho appointments.
