Hi All,
I spend a few weeks a year doing some remote camping. Paddle or hike in. Drinking water comes from what ever lake or river is near by. I use my steri pen or a filter to clean it up.
A couple months ago, I began my orthodontic treatment with Invisalign. I'm an adult, had braces as a kid, but my teeth moved back, so now I'm shelling out a bunch of money to get this done again. I'm doing it right too - taking good care of my teeth and the invisalign.
Every time I eat or drink anything except water, I take out the aligners, rinse them with water and then place them in a case. After eating I brush the aligners and my teeth - and then put the aligners back in. Running water is pretty critical to keep them CLEAN. Just a swish with water is ok for a snack out and about - but to not have running water for a week... I'm worried not so much about funky breath for the week of camping, but possible decay. Not wearing them for a week is not an option. They must be in my mouth for about 20 hours a day, every day.
I'm looking for a light and compact way to get some sort of "running" water with a little bit of pressure. My only idea so far is to use a bottle with a squirt top.
Any ideas to get some sort of water flowing would be greatly appreciated. It'd have to be small and light as I don't like to carry the kitchen sink!
Thanks!
Amber
