When you are traveling to new places or taking a vacation, you will need to bring your orthodontic equipment! Similar tips will be applied for when you are bringing your gear to other places but here are some things to keep in mind when in other places or countries etc.
1. Different places means different minerals in the water. This can cause a build up on your headgear/ retainers if the place has hard water (high mineral content). So you will need to brush and clean your equipment more to get rid of that.
2. Be aware of what you are eating! When you have braces keep in mind that you might be eating exotic foods that will get stuck!
3. Always carry a kit with cleaning material so you can clean up after eating.
4. Since you will probably be staying somewhere you should bring all of your gear and at least try to wear your retainers at night. Remember to check when packing to leave that you have all of your stuff because it will be impossible to track it if you forget to bring it back.
