    Whether you’re jetting off to Italy for work, island-hopping through Greece, or exploring the streets of London on holiday, at Urban Smile, your travel plans don’t have to interrupt your clear aligner treatment.

    At Urban Smile, we combine in-person visits with the convenience of At-Home Monitoring through the Dental Monitoring App. This means you can stay on track with your Dream Smile journey, no matter where your passport takes you. With just your smartphone and a few minutes each week, our team can monitor your progress remotely, keeping your treatment moving forward while you enjoy your adventures.

    Why Dental Monitoring is a Game Changer for Travel

    One of the biggest concerns patients have when starting clear aligner treatment is whether it will disrupt their travel plans or busy lifestyle. The good news? With Dental Monitoring, you don’t have to choose between straightening your teeth and living your life.

    Here’s how it works:

    • Weekly Selfies
      Each week, you’ll take a series of guided photos or videos of your teeth using the app and a special cheek retractor we provide. Our clinical team reviews these scans to ensure your teeth are tracking as expected.
    • Real-Time Progress
      If something isn’t right, we can provide guidance immediately or schedule an in-person visit only if needed.
    • Stay Connected Anywhere
      Through the Dental Monitoring app, you can chat with our team, ask questions, and receive updates on your treatment progress, even when you’re on the other side of the world.

    Planning to Travel? Here’s What to Know

    We love helping patients fit treatment into their lifestyle, and Dental Monitoring makes it easier than ever. Here are our top tips for managing your aligners while travelling:

    1. Start Sooner
      Don’t delay your clear aligner treatment because of upcoming travel – there’s no need to wait for the “perfect time” to get started.
    2. Smart Planning
      Let us know your travel plans ahead of time. We’ll make sure you have all the aligners you need and schedule any in-person appointments around your trip.
    3. Pack Smart
      Bring an “aligner essentials kit” with a toothbrush, toothpaste, aligner case, and cleaning supplies. Always pack your aligners in your carry-on to avoid losing them.
    4. Remote Check-Ins
      With Dental Monitoring, your aligner progress is tracked from anywhere. You’ll never have to worry about falling behind while you’re on the go.

    Staying on Track While Abroad

    During her treatment, ex AFLW player Tahlia Fellows took a trip to Bali, taking along her Scan Box Pro and clear aligners. Thanks to the Dental Monitoring App, she easily sent scans of her teeth to our clinical team, keeping her treatment on track no matter where she was.

    As long as you have Wi-Fi, you can take a scan! This allows you to enjoy your adventures while still working towards your Dream Smile – the new way of orthodontic treatment.
