☀️ Summer Travel Is Here — But Don’t Forget Your Aligners!
There’s nothing better than getting away in the summer — but just because you're on holiday doesn’t mean your oral appliance hygiene can take a vacation too! Whether you wear Invisalign, clear aligners, retainers or night guards, it’s important to keep them fresh and bacteria-free wherever you go.
Thankfully, Sonic Dental makes it easy to stay clean and confident all summer long. 😎🧳
🧼 Why Cleaning on the Go Matters
Aligners and retainers sit in your mouth for most of the day — which means they collect bacteria, plaque, and even odor. When not cleaned properly, especially during hot summer months, these germs can multiply fast.
Travel introduces challenges like:
-
🏕️ Irregular routines
-
🧼 Limited access to your normal cleaning setup
-
🍹 Increased sugar intake from food and drink
-
🦠 Hot temperatures that encourage bacterial growth
Without proper care, this could lead to bad breath, plaque buildup, or even oral infections. Not ideal on holiday.
✅ How to Keep Things Clean While Traveling
Here’s our go-to summer travel routine for fresh aligners — from morning hikes to poolside cocktails 🍹:
1. Pack the Sonic Pro — Your At-Home Clean, Anywhere
Your Sonic Pro is surprisingly compact and easy to travel with. It gives your aligners the deep ultrasonic and UVC clean they need to stay crystal clear and bacteria-free.
🧳 Just pop it in your luggage, plug it in at your hotel, and enjoy that spa-fresh clean every night.
2. Take the Sonic Go for Daytime Cleaning
On the road, at the beach, or mid-flight? That’s where the Sonic Go comes in.
This compact USB-powered device uses UVC light to kill bacteria and keep odor at bay — perfect for a quick refresh after meals or long days out. 🌅
3. Use Cleaning Tablets + Water at Night (If You Must)
Forgot your Sonic Pro? Don’t worry — for short trips, just soak your appliance in clean water with our Sonic Dental Cleaning Tablets before bed. 🫧
While they won’t remove as much debris as the Sonic Pro, they’ll still disinfect and neutralize odors.
💡 Pro tip: If you're relying on tablets overnight, make sure to give your aligners a mid-day clean using the Sonic Go to kill bacteria and keep them odor free.
🧳 The Ultimate Aligner Travel Kit
Here’s what we recommend packing for summer travel with Invisalign, aligners, or retainers:
✔️ Sonic Pro (main cleaner for mornings and night)

🦷 Final Word: Stay Fresh, Even on the Move
Whether you’re backpacking across Europe or heading to the beach for a weekend, don’t let poor aligner hygiene ruin your trip. With the Sonic Pro and Sonic Go, keeping your aligners clean on the go has never been easier.
So pack smart, clean consistently, and enjoy a healthy, confident smile all summer long. ☀️🦷
