What To Pack When You Wear Braces

It’s just about that time again; summer is creeping around the corner. For many of our patients, summer is a popular time to take a vacation and escape the responsibilities and routine of every day normal life. As we encourage you to take some well-deserved time away and hit the beach, we want you to remember to stay responsible for your braces while you’re traveling.

Be sure to pack more than the essential tooth brush and floss if you wear braces! Check out our tips below for those of you wearing clear aligners & traditional braces

If you wear Invisalign clear aligners, be sure to remember:

· Always take your previous set of aligners, your current set, and your next set of aligners with you.

· Always carry your aligners in your purse or carry-on luggage when flying.

· Take an extra case.

· Make sure you rinse out your mouth and aligners before reinserting into your mouth if brushing is inconvenient.

If you wear traditional braces, be sure to pack the follow:

· Orthodontic wax

· Floss & threader

· Proxy brush

· Rubber bands (if required)

· Ibuprofen


We hope these tips help you while you’re enjoying the summer. If you have any questions or concerns while you are traveling please give Appletree Orthodontics a call. Wishing you all safe travels!

A Smile He Will Never Forget

Summer is creeping up on us!  With the warm weather ahead, we have more than vacations to look forward too, that's right, it's Wedding Season!  Did you know 91% of brides would love to change something about their smile? Brides see smiles as an important accessory for their big day, especially with all the pictures taken the wedding. For the brides we work with at Apple Tree Orthodontics, we typically introduce them to Invisalign.  With Invisalign, you can see a difference in your smile in as little as a few months.

How It Works:
Invisalign is popular because of it's more modern approach to straighten teeth, along with the fast results in comparison to metal braces and brackets. With Invisalign, patients can get the smile of their dreams by wearing a series of custom-made aligners for a matter of months. The clear Invisalign aligners are virtually invisible plastic that fit over your teeth comfortably, Wearing these will gradually and gentally shift teeth into place.

Are you getting married soon and looking for the perfect smile for your big day? Set up your first appointment at Appletree Orthodontics and let us help you smile brighter and straighter.
