On most days, your Invisalign<\/a> aligners are clear and convenient, so you don\u2019t have to worry about metal braces, dad jokes, or a restrictive diet. But Halloween is coming up, you have parties to attend, and you can\u2019t help but wonder if the 22-hour wear time is going to ruin your fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Save your terror for the haunted houses and horror movie night! These Halloween hacks will help you enjoy spooky season while you\u2019re perfecting your smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Maybe Don\u2019t Be Dracula<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fake fangs are fun and all, but they\u2019re not going to fit over your aligners, no matter how slim your trays are. They\u2019re not going to replace Invisalign as an orthodontic solution, either! Really though, this minor drawback in costume options might be a blessing in disguise. The real Dracula might have shiny, Hollywood teeth, but fake fangs are an oral health violation waiting to happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have A Candy-Eating Plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The 22-hour wear time for Invisalign does complicate things. However, you can still remove your aligners and enjoy your favorite Halloween treats! The key is to plan your candy-crunching schedule ahead of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not the best idea to graze on your snacks throughout the day, as you could easily lose track of the in-vs-out time for your trays. Instead, consider consuming your delicacies after meals. Calculating your wear time for the day will be much simpler, and you\u2019ll be doing your teeth a favor by buffering sugary, bacterial accelerants with other foods and a prompt cleaning session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Always Bring Your Tray Case<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Picture this: you\u2019re at a costume party. You set your aligners down so you can eat, but the next thing you know, it\u2019s one or two drinks later, you\u2019ve wandered around from social circle to social circle, and you\u2019ve lost your aligners. Not an ideal scenario!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Always take your tray case with you, so that 1) you can protect your aligners from accidental damage and countertop bacteria, and 2) you don\u2019t lose them amongst the Halloween ambience. Finding a brightly colored tray case will be easier than finding your slim and clear Invisalign. Plus, since you won\u2019t have to worry about pocket fuzz getting stuck to your trays, maybe you\u2019ll tuck them away and avoid misplacing them altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have A Spooky, Scary Halloween!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s definitely possible to enjoy your Halloween celebrations while sticking to your Invisalign treatment guidelines. The details of your night might look a little different, and you\u2019ll have to do some thinking ahead, but it\u2019ll be worth it for a perfectly even smile. With these hacks, you can have a delightfully spooky time \u2013 and avoid undesirable frights like damaged aligners or a delayed treatment timeline!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
