Because your passport and your retainer both deserve a spot in your carry-on.
Whether you're chasing summer across continents or jetting off for a weekend getaway, your travel essentials say a lot about you. If you’ve invested in straightening your teeth, your clear retainer should be right there with your skincare minis and favorite headphones.
The best part? Brands like NewSmile make it easier than ever to travel light—with slim, custom-fit retainers that don’t take up space (but do a lot behind the scenes).
Your clear retainer is a simple thing—but a little prep goes a long way to keep it safe, clean, and effective while you're away.
Here’s how to protect your smile on the go:
Use a ventilated case: Always pack your retainer in a hard, breathable case (bonus points if it's stylish).
Don’t wrap it in napkins: That’s the #1 way retainers get accidentally tossed at restaurants.
Keep a mini cleaning kit: Travel-size toothbrush, gentle soap, and a backup tray if you’ve got one.
Avoid extreme heat: Don’t leave it in a hot car or near the hotel hairdryer.
Need a replacement before your next trip? NewSmile’s custom retainer kit ships directly to you—so you’re ready to roam.
Your skincare, your journaling, your retainer—it’s all part of the nighttime ritual. Just because you’re in a new time zone doesn’t mean your smile should fall out of sync.
Here’s a tip: Pair your retainer with your nightly routine, no matter where you are. After brushing and flossing, pop it in, just like you would at home. Whether you're in a mountain cabin or a beachside Airbnb, consistency is key.
If you travel often—or just tend to misplace things when you're out of your normal routine—it’s smart to have a spare. A lost or cracked retainer can undo months (or years) of alignment work if left unreplaced for too long.
Ordering a backup is easy with NewSmile, especially for new customers. It’s peace of mind you can pack in your bag.
Your smile goes where you go. From long-haul flights to spontaneous weekend getaways, keeping a clear retainer in your routine means keeping your smile exactly the way you like it—wherever life takes you.
