You may wonder how to enjoy Halloween if you’ve got orthodontia. The good news is, braces aren’t too tricky. In fact, the best choices for Halloween treats are the same for all smiles – whether or not you wear braces.
You will have to be a bit more careful with braces, as this short video explains. For example, cut an apple into small pieces before eating it. And popcorn isn’t a great idea, as kernels can get caught in your braces.
Chocolate is your best candy choice, with or without braces. (Though be careful of chocolate with nuts if you have braces.) That’s because it melts quickly and washes away from teeth and orthodontia.
In contrast, sticky and hard candies can damage both teeth and braces. Sour candies are especially bad for your teeth, as they contain both sugar and acid. The acid weakens tooth enamel, leaving it susceptible to cavities. The sugar interacts with bacteria in your mouth to eat into enamel.
At our office, we offer both braces and Invisalign. With Invisalign, you won’t have to modify your diet. You can take the clear plastic aligners out for meals and snacks.
