It might. : Consistent wear of clear aligners is critical. Why not wear them during your trip. Simply take your case and put it in a zip pocket to store your aligners when eating.

Yes: To stay on track and keep your treatment time short as possible, you need to wear them full time. Take just the number of aligners needed to complete your trip and be diligent with them.
