For a list of braces-friendly Halloween candy, keep reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Halloween Candy That Is Delicious <em>and<\/em> Braces-Friendly<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When sorting through your candy, it\u2019s important to look for soft options that don\u2019t increase your chances of accidentally breaking a bracket or wire. A few examples include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>KitKats<\/li><li>Reese\u2019s Peanut Butter Cups<\/li><li>3 Musketeers<\/li><li>Plain M&amp;Ms<\/li><li>Chocolate bars, like Hershey\u2019s Bars<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you aren\u2019t a fan of these options, don\u2019t worry \u2013 there are other festive treats you can indulge in as well. Pixy Stix, soft cookies, pumpkin spiced cake, double-chocolate cupcakes, and apple cider are a few additional braces-friendly options you can enjoy this Halloween!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Halloween Candy That You Should Avoid This Spooky Season<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Naturally, you want to avoid candies that are overly hard or chewy. That starts with lollipops and jawbreakers and extends to gum, chewy toffee, caramel popcorn, and crunchy peanut brittle. Although it may be hard to refrain, it\u2019s of the utmost importance. After all, you don\u2019t want to spend your Halloween in your orthodontist\u2019s treatment chair!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7 Tips for a Cavity-Free Halloween<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of course, even the candies on the \u201corthodontist-approved\u201d list have the potential to cause cavities. Since tooth decay can cause you to fall off-track with your treatment plan, it\u2019s a good idea to implement the following best practices:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Eat candy alongside your meals (this is when your saliva production is the highest)<\/li><li>Drink plenty of water throughout the day to keep sugar and food particles off of your teeth<\/li><li>Brush for a full two minutes each morning and evening<\/li><li>Floss and rinse with mouthwash daily<\/li><li>Get a dental checkup and cleaning every six months<\/li><li>Fill the rest of your diet with well-balanced, nutrient-dense meals<\/li><li>Avoid unhealthy dental habits, like chewing on ice and using your teeth as tools to open things<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Luckily, a braces-friendly Halloween doesn\u2019t have to be a boring one. Just be mindful of which candies you choose to indulge in to avoid accidentally breaking a bracket or wire!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Practice<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From our experienced orthodontists to our exceptional front desk staff, our team at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplyorthografton.com\/\">Simply Orthodontics<\/a> is here to help make your journey to a straighter smile as comfortable, seamless, and enjoyable as possible.
