Will they remember to take out their trays when they\u2019re supposed to? Will they keep them clean? Can they avoid losing their trays altogether? As a parent, it\u2019s natural for you to worry about these things, but a few easy tips can give you peace of mind while ensuring your teen stays on track toward their straight smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Always Bring their Invisalign Carrying Case<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common way Invisalign trays \u201cdisappear\u201d is that someone takes them out to eat and sets them on the table, and then they accidentally end up getting thrown away. An easy way to avoid this is to make sure your teen takes their Invisalign case with them to school every day, and their trays should ONLY go in it when they are not being worn. When doing the morning check to see if they have all the books, pencils, and other supplies they require, be sure to include their Invisalign case on the list!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pack An On-the-Go Dental Hygiene Kit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The typical recommendation is that people should brush their teeth twice a day and floss once, but for people with Invisalign, it\u2019s better to clean their teeth after every meal and snack. That\u2019s because the trays can trap leftover food and harmful bacteria against the teeth, leading to an increased risk of cavities and persistent bad breath. Including a travel-sized toothbrush, floss, toothpaste, and maybe even mouthwash that fit into your child\u2019s bag should make it easy for them to take care of their teeth and trays between classes. This will not only safeguard their health, but they\u2019ll also enjoy a confidence boost from having a pristine smile at all times!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Invisalign-Friendly Lunches<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A patient can eat whatever they like while using Invisalign, but when packing your child\u2019s lunch, it\u2019s best to limit any particularly sweet or sticky foods. This will lower the amount of leftover sugar on their teeth after meals that can end up stuck between their teeth and trays, plus this is good advice for their oral health in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bonus Tip: Don\u2019t Panic\u2014Call Their Dentist!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, even with all the preparation and forethought in the world, kids will be kids. If a tray ends up being \u201cstolen\u201d or damaged, there\u2019s no need to lose your cool. Most Invisalign treatments (especially ones made for teens) include replacement trays, and you can always call their dentist to see if they can use an old tray or skip ahead to the next one. Little bumps in the road like this are expected, but between these tips and your dentist, it should be smooth sailing toward your child\u2019s new smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><u>&nbsp;About the Practice<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentistelreno.com\/krysten-jackson-dds.html\">Dr. Krysten Jackson<\/a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentistelreno.com\/eric-parsons-dds.html\">Dr. Eric Parsons<\/a>&nbsp;are El Reno family dentists who graduated from the University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry.
