On that note, since Halloween was last month, The Brace Place team (https://www.thebraceplacetulsa.com/meet-the-team/) wants braces-wearers to know they can enjoy their Halloween haul even with braces. Here are some pointers for braces and candy.

Candy To Avoid

Some candy can damage or break braces, leading to a delay in treatment. Braces-wearers should avoid candy that's crunchy, hard, sticky, or gummy, including:

●     Caramel and taffy

●     Hard candies and lollipops

●     Chewy candy

●     Bubble gum

●     Candy with nuts

Candy To Enjoy

Those with braces can enjoy candy that isn't too hard and doesn't have caramel or nuts in it. With chocolate, let it melt in the mouth a little before biting into it or enjoy small pieces at a time. Candy that's ok includes:

●     Chocolate kisses

●     Peanut butter cups

●     Powdery candy

●     Small chocolate candies

An additional tip? Brush and floss extra well post-Halloween. All the sugar that collects on teeth and around braces from candy can contribute to tooth decay and cavities.
