A lifestyle guide to keeping your smile protected wherever you go.
Between long-haul flights, hotel stays, and late-night adventures, it’s easy to forget the little things — like wearing your clear night guard. But when it comes to teeth grinding or jaw clenching, consistency matters, even when you're away from home.
Whether you're a frequent flyer or planning your next vacation, here’s how to travel smarter with your night guard — and keep your oral health routine on track.
If you use a night guard at home, there’s no reason to skip it while traveling. Here’s why:
Bruxism doesn’t take a break. In fact, stress from travel can make nighttime grinding worse.
Skipping it can reverse progress. Even a few missed nights can cause discomfort or trigger jaw tension.
Custom-fit night guards are compact and travel-friendly. Especially the clear, minimal models like those from NewSmile.
Make your night guard part of your essential travel checklist. Here’s how to pack like a pro:
Use a ventilated, hard-shell case. This keeps your night guard clean and protected from damage.
Never store it loose. That’s a recipe for contamination — or forgetting it altogether.
Bring a mini cleaning kit. A travel toothbrush, mild soap, and quick-drying towel will do the trick.
Avoid exposure to heat. Don’t leave it in a hot car or near a heater — especially custom-molded guards that can warp.
Pro tip: NewSmile’s clear night guard comes with a compact storage case perfect for travel.
Even when you’re away from your normal routine, cleanliness is key:
Rinse your guard immediately after wearing.
Use gentle soap and a toothbrush to clean it.
Let it air dry completely before sealing it in your case.
Don’t soak it in hotel mouthwash or alcohol-based cleaners — they can degrade the material.
Frequent travelers know the pain of forgetting essentials. If you’re on the road a lot, consider keeping a second night guard. With NewSmile, once your impressions are on file, reordering is quick and easy — no extra appointments needed.
