How Invisalign® Encourages My Teen’s Passion for Adventure

0shares

This post was sponsored by the Invisalign® brand and all opinions expressed in my post are my own.

My teen is always up for an adventure. If you asked Ryan what his favorite hobbies are, he’d tell you traveling and photography. He loves an adventure. We all do. It’s one of the reasons I homeschool, or road school, to be able to take our learning on the go. Whether we’re at home or exploring El Morro in Puerto Rico we’re not ones to turn down an adventure!

That’s one of the reasons we love Invisalign® treatment so much!

Invisalign aligners are transforming Ryan’s smile without compromise and with more predictability* thanks to SmartTrack® material. With over 20 years of innovation and 7 million+ smiles have enabled Invisalign treatment to correct simple to complex orthodontic cases, like Ryan’s. He can continue to go on all the adventures, eat all the things he likes (and even try new foods) while in treatment. Unlike traditional braces, there’s no restrictions when it comes to food! So there’s no holding him back when it comes to eating his way through our travels. (*compared to 0.30 inch off-the-shelf aligners)

Before we started his treatment, Ryan and I sat down and went over all the instructions from Dr. Segal, his orthodontist at Segal & Iyer. I made sure he understood that this was his responsibility. I cannot wear his Invisalign® aligners for him, only he can.

In order for his treatment to be successful, he has to make sure he follows all the directions Dr. Segal gave him. 

It’s been about 10 weeks since he started treatment and he’s done phenomenally well. He wears his aligners all day long, only taking them out to eat or drink. In just these 10 weeks, he’s already notified such a difference in his smile that it encourages him to keep going.

It’s boosted his confidence so much and he readily smiles more for pictures and throughout our whole trip.

Plus we didn’t have to worry about any unexpected office visits (like you do with traditional braces) while we’re away. If a set of aligners break, you just move back to your old set or up to you new set.* That’s it!

*Consult your Invisalign provider before reverting to previous aligners or wearing new aligners

When his case fell out of his backpack in Disney and his top aligners broke, we didn’t worry. He just moved onto the next pack. Simple as can be.

I always try to include an educational aspect into all our trips. Since we homeschool and travel a lot, I use every place we visit as a learning tool. Whether it’s through the local cuisine or just immersing ourselves into the local scene, he’s able to enjoy anything our adventures bring while not having to worry about his orthodontic treatment.

When it comes time to plan out our trips, we don’t worry that Invisalign treatment will hold us back. Invisalign aligners give him ( and me) the confidence to know that he can try all the new foods he wants and we won’t have to avoid any restaurants tough to chew foods. Plus since Invisalign aligners transform his smile without compromise, we can still get the perfect family shot or selfie where he’s actually smiling.  When we sit down and discuss what historical sites or things we want to learn more about and make a list of things to see and do, and Ryan makes sure to packing his aligners is at the top of that list!

Sometimes I even put him in charge of all our educational activities and I let him plan the whole itinerary.  It’s doubles as a research project. He’ll look into the different sites and activities available and pick out ones he thinks we’ll all enjoy.

If you or your child need orthodontic care, Invisalign aligners are a convenient choice for active and jet-setting families.

Invisalign aligners let you transform your smile without compromise, so nothing holds Ryan back from hiking, swimming and truly exploring and immersing himself into wherever we’ll be.

Parents, you can learn more about Invisalign treatment for your tween or teens here, and be sure to take the free Smile Assessment for them!

She gives me a run for my money in the sass department but I wouldn’t have it any other way 😉

Here’s to raising strong, sassy girls that can hold own in this crazy world ❤️

Since she still talks about our #toyotawelltraveled adventure and all the fun she had, I figured these would be the best pictures to celebrate her with.

Who else loves a good mail day? My friends at @rea Who else loves a good mail day? My friends at @real_simple sent me a box of goodies to get excited about the Real Simple Home Tour. (ad) It’s virtual this year so we can all join in the fun.

My box was filled with goodies like this comfy throw from @homedepot. It’s Perfect for curling up on the coach with the latest copy of Real Simple Magazine.

@kerrygoldusa, my favorite butter for cooking up all my favorite Keto recipes.

Goodies from @paintzen and @horderly will help keep my office nice and organized and the beautiful affirmation cards from @the.lamare are a beautiful way to keep me motivated.

My kitties were pretty excited about the @armandhammercat litter. They don’t like a stinky box and the AbsorbX litter traps and seals odors with the unique Desert Dr Minerals. Happy kitties, happy mommy! 

Be sure to join the @real_simple Home Virtual Event on October 1st at 4pm EST! #RSHome

Remember to hug the ones you love a little tighter Remember to hug the ones you love a little tighter tonight. Tell people what they mean to you. Never take a moment for granted. Tomorrow is never guaranteed. “On this day 19 years ago, 246 people went to sleep in preparation for their morning flights. 2,606 people went to sleep in preparation for work in the morning. 343 firefighters went to sleep in preparation for their next shift. 60 police officers went to sleep in preparation for the morning patrol. 8 paramedics went to sleep in preparation for the morning shift. None of them saw past 10am Sept 11th, 2001. In one single moment life may never be the same. As you live and enjoy the breaths you take tonight before you go sleep in preparation for your life tomorrow, kiss the ones you love, snuggle a little tighter, and never take one second of your life for granted!” 🙏🏼

Have you seen the 2020 @toyotausa Highlander in pe Have you seen the 2020 @toyotausa Highlander in person yet? I had so many questions about this vehicle last week and I think I answered most of you 😂 (don’t worry I have a full blog post coming soon on this beauty) but until then, I thought I’d tell you a few things I loved, and why it’s perfect for road trips!

* First, it’s COMFORTABLE! Seriously one of the most comfortable ones I’ve been in. The power and heated seats were perfect for those chilly NH nights when we went out to eat. Plus the second-row sunshades made it easy for Evie to take a nap on the way up and home.

*Can we talk about all the charging capabilities? The #ToyotaHighlander has FOUR USB ports, a Qi wireless charger and TWO 12 volt outlets so none of us had to worry about a low-battery. Plus we could keep the @nintendo Switches charged for when we needed them.

* Then there’s all the safety features. Toyota Safety Sense is a bundle of safety features that come standard on the #Highlander and made me feel extra safe on the road in this beauty!

Listen, we were sad to see this one go. Stay tuned for the full post on everything we loved! And if you’re out looking for a new car, check this one out!

AD: If this year has taught me anything, it's that AD: If this year has taught me anything, it's that I'm stronger than I think. We all are. Strength comes in many different forms but a strong foundation begins with proper nutrition. @viactiv is a sweet way to make sure your body gets the calcium it needs for strong bones. Just 2 tasty #viactiv chews a day give you 100% of the daily recommended calcium your body needs to keep your bones STRONG. With 30% more calcium, up to 2/3 LESS sugar and half the calories of other gummy supplements, the choice is easy! How has this year made you #CHEWstobestrong (see what I did there)
