For younger generations, travel is all the rage. 27% of Gen Z in the UK plan to travel both domestically and internationally each summer,[i] whilst in the colder October-March months, 84% of Brits express a desire to travel.[ii] Alarmingly, only 39% keep up with health and wellness routines on holiday.[iii] This can lead to lapses in things like oral health, putting young travellers at risk.
A compact healthcare product offers enormous appeal. There is a growing demand for items that are small in size yet retain their quality[iv] – a perfect blend of affordability and convenience that can improve compliancy. In particular, the trend of “flying naked,” in which travellers go abroad without bags[v] – just the clothes they wear and the pockets in them – highlights how space-saving solutions are immensely desirable. Those heading off to skiing trips loaded with luggage will also benefit from some packing minimalism.
Enter the Ortho Travel Kit from Curaprox, an all-in-one care set to improve the health of the teeth and gingivae during orthodontic treatment.
Due to the higher risk of oral disease, orthodontic treatment demands a consistent daily oral hygiene routine that cleans every tooth, gingival and bracket surface for optimal results.[vi] This level of comprehensive cleaning is attained with the Travel Kits five components:
- Ortho Travel toothbrush
- Curaprox Be You toothpaste
- CPS 14 ortho interdental brush
- CPS 18 ortho interdental brush
- CPS 07 prime interdental brush
A groovy brush
Toothbrushes can be awkward things to take abroad; poking out of travel bags or leaving toothpaste and water stains on clothes. The Ortho Travel toothbrush remedies these concerns as it can be parted into two pieces so as to fit into the compact case that the Ortho Travel Kit comes in. This efficiency is matched by the toothbrush’s effectiveness: it’s head incorporates a bracket groove, allowing the 5,460 ultra-fine Curen® filaments to clean the tooth surfaces around each bracket. Gentle yet powerful, the brush filaments promote a comfortable experience.
No toothbrush can work solo, and the Be You toothpaste is a reliable partner packed with freshness, herbs and oral health essentials. Four flavours are available, depending on the Ortho Travel Kit colour:
- Green – Peach and Apricot
- Orange – Apple and Aloe Vera
- Blue – Watermelon
- Pink – Blackberry and Liquorice
Behind each pleasant flavour is a fluoride-fix that protects against caries and strengthens the teeth.
Small but mighty
The trio of interdental brushes comes with a duo holder, enabling orthodontic patients to alternate quickly between sizes. The CPS 14 is cone-shaped to better clean around orthodontic bands, as well as accessing the interdental surfaces between the wires, teeth and around the brackets. The CPS 18 is also ideal for cleaning the wires, removing trapped food particles with ease. Finally, the CPS 07 is effective for brushing the interdental spaces, optimising oral hygiene outcomes and ensuring fresh breath.
These powerful cleaning aides are contained in an aesthetically-pleasing vibrant case. It measures a compact 9.5cm x 6cm – small enough to fit in a trouser pocket. For orthodontic patients looking to travel as lightly as possible, the Travel Kit’s size is unbeatable for its practicality and its contents.
Orthodontic patients should be able to enjoy the thrill of travel without having to pack bulky hygiene solutions or neglecting their oral health. With the excellent product range from Curaprox, patients can level-up their daily dental care and lower the risk of caries and periodontitis. This means that, when the braces come off, their smile isn’t just straight – it is healthy. Recommend today.
