Back-to-school season is exciting — but for parents of kids in orthodontic treatment, it can also bring a new set of worries. What happens if a bracket comes loose at school? What if their aligner case is left at home?
Pack a Dental Survival Kit
The most important thing you can do is prepare a dental survival kit to keep in your child's backpack. OrthoNu's Oral Relief Kitz™ is the perfect all-in-one solution — it contains everything a patient might need to manage minor discomfort or appliance issues while away from home.
Must-Have Items for Every Orthodontic Student
- OrthoChewz™ for aligner seating and sore relief
- Chillin' Strips™ for instant bracket irritation relief
- Comfort Tape™ for protecting inflamed gum tissue
- Mouth-aid™ for sores and ulcer relief
- A Tweakz® tool for managing minor aligner or brace issues
- A travel toothbrush and floss picks
- An aligner case (for aligner wearers)
Set Your Child Up for Success
The key is preparation. When children and teens have the right tools on hand, they can handle minor discomforts independently — which builds confidence and reduces the need for parents to rushed to school or orthodontist offices mid-day.
