Halloween is full of tasty treats, but if you’re rocking braces, some of those spooky snacks could cause problems! 😬 Here’s what to watch out for:
🚫 Sticky Candy: Caramel, taffy, or gummies—these sugary, sticky sweets can get stuck in your brackets and wires. Yikes! 😖
🚫 Hard Candies: Lollipops, jawbreakers, and anything hard can break a bracket or bend a wire with just one bite! 🦷
🚫 Popcorn: Those pesky kernels can get lodged in your braces and between your teeth. Plus, they can be hard on your wires! 🍿
🚫 Chewy Candy: Think fruit rolls, licorice, or gummy bears. These will stick to your braces like glue and can lead to tooth damage. 🍬
❗ Tip: Go for soft, bite-sized treats, or opt for some healthy Halloween snacks like apple slices or sugar-free gum! 🥎🎃
Stay safe and enjoy a sweet (but safe) Halloween! 🧙♀️✨
