Orthodontic Patients: What to Pack (& Eat) on Vacation

Life Is Better With a Smile

  • Labbe Family Orthodontics
  • May 17, 2018

Summer is just right around the corner, and that means vacations for a large number of families and adults. If you are one of the millions of people who wear braces or use Invisalign, you will want to know how to care for your braces or aligners while you are enjoying your vacation away from home.

Before you head out the door and start your vacation, you need to make sure you have packed the right essentials. Some of the more common items to pack for your orthodontic care include:

  • Toothpaste
  • Toothbrush
  • Dental Floss
  • Retainer Case
  • Aligners Case

While you are on vacation, you may be tempted by many of summer’s numerous treats and foods. It is important to remember that just because you are on vacation, your orthodontic treatment is not.

You should still refrain from eating things you would skip at home because they could cause problems with your braces or aligners. Yet this does not mean you cannot enjoy other things like ice cream, fresh soft fruits, burgers, or pizza!

To find out what other essentials you should pack for orthodontic care while on vacation, foods you can enjoy, foods you should skip, and tips for sticking to your orthodontic care routine, we invite you to continue reviewing the following infographic.

Afterward, if you have further questions about caring for your braces or Invisalign aligners while on vacation, please feel free to contact Labbe Family Orthodontics, where “Life Is Better with a Smile!”

Shannon W.
Absolutely amazing staff and doctors! They have been amazingly professional each time we visit. I truly wish this could be our permanent dentist. We couldn’t have had a better experience for my daughter’s braces from beginning to end. I would refer them to anyone who is looking to get braces whether adults or children. Just an overall wonderful experience. Truly hard to find experiences like this!
Jason M.
Wonderful practice. My son looks forward to the visits. Very warm, welcoming and family oriented.

Best Part!!! They care! Service: You will be in and out. All of the offices are ran like a well oiled machine. My smile will thank them forever.

Labbe Family Orthodontics is an outstanding office, with an exceptional team - from the friendly front office to the skilled orthodontists, everyone is always eager to assist and accommodate all patients. This goes without exception to Brittany, whose kindness goes above and beyond.

Highly recommend this office for anyone seeking top-notch orthodontic care!
Shannon T.
Labbe Family Orthodontics is a fantastic practice. They took their time and explained everything during our consultation. Tricia was incredibly helpful in explaining payment options and assisting us in determining what coverage we would have if we purchased a supplemental dental plan.

I never thought getting braces for our kids could be a joyful experience until we entered Labbe. We were blessed with an experience that pursued excellence while exhibiting amazing personal and relational care with an injection of authentic joy. Highly recommend!
