Exploring the world doesn’t mean your journey to a perfect smile has to take a back seat. Aalto’s clear aligners, fabricated in Sydney, Australia, are designed to complement your nomadic lifestyle, letting your smile progress smoothly from one destination to the next.

6 Tips for Travelling With Clear Aligners

Jet Set With Your Aligners

Your aligners deserve a spot right next to your passport. A sturdy, compact aligner case keeps them safe and clean while you’re not wearing them. Consider a travel-sized aligner cleaning kit too—keeping your aligners sparkling should be as easy as snapping that perfect sunset photo.

Routine Is Key, Even Overseas

Even with a packed itinerary, your aligner schedule should stay consistent. Use phone reminders to keep wear time on track, and always remove your aligners before eating or drinking anything other than water to prevent damage or staining.

High Altitudes and High Hygiene

Flights and long-haul travel can leave you dehydrated, and your aligners aren’t immune. Drinking plenty of water not only keeps you hydrated but also helps maintain aligner hygiene. In-flight lavatories are your friend for a quick rinse or clean when needed.

Local Smarts for Your Aligners

Be mindful of your environment—if you’re unsure about tap water quality, use bottled water to clean your aligners. Pack an emergency kit with a spare aligner case and extra water to handle any unexpected bumps in your journey.

Staying on Track Across Time Zones

Your treatment doesn’t pause while you travel. With Aalto’s remote monitoring services, check-ups are just an internet connection away. Follow your treatment timeline carefully and switch to your next set of aligners as directed to keep your progress on track.


Pre-Flight Checklist for a Worry-Free Trip

Before takeoff, make sure you’ve packed:

  • Aligner case

  • Cleaning kit

  • Next sets of aligners

  • Travel-sized oral hygiene supplies

With these essentials, your smile is ready to travel in style.


With Aalto clear aligners, there’s no need for your smile to take a holiday when you do. Follow these simple tips, and your aligners will seamlessly integrate into your travel routine, ensuring your smile remains your best travel accessory.

Get ready to embark on your next adventure with confidence—your Aalto smile is ready when you are.
