🎄 Christmas Candies to Avoid with Braces! 🎁
The holidays are sweet… but some treats can turn your orthodontic season sour. To keep your smile on track, avoid these Christmas candies:

🍬 Candy Canes – Hard + sticky = a broken bracket waiting to happen.
🍫 Caramel & Toffees – Chewy treats can pull wires or brackets loose.
🍭 Hard Candies – One bite can mean an unexpected trip to see us!
🍪 Crunchy Cookies – If it snaps loudly, your braces won’t love it.

✨ Braces-Safe Alternatives:
Soft chocolates, peanut butter cups, melt-in-your-mouth treats, and holiday pastries are all safer choices!

At Homon Orthodontics, we want your holiday season to be fun, safe, and smile-friendly. Because your smile, your way, matters.

☃️ Holiday braces hack: We are often tempted by hard candy, popcorn, and sticky treats during holiday parties. 🍭 Enjoy the season without setbacks by choosing braces-friendly snacks like soft chocolates, fruit, cheese, and yogurt. And for Invisalign wearers, a quick rinse and brushing after every treat keeps teeth and aligners fresh. Small habits now prevent longer treatment later!

💡 Life Hack for Braces & Invisalign! 💡

Students are busy juggling school, sports, and homework—but keeping their smile on track doesn’t have to be hard.
For Braces: Use a small travel toothbrush and a mini floss pick to clean teeth after snacks at school. It fits right in their pencil case and keeps brackets happy!

For Invisalign: Keep an extra aligner case in their backpack so aligners are always safe when they eat lunch or snacks. No accidental loss, no stress!
A few small habits like these can make a big difference and keep their smile on track—without extra trips to the orthodontist. 😁✨

Did you know your smile uses 17 facial muscles just to show happiness? 😁💪

That’s a lot of work for something that brightens your day and everyone else’s! Keep those muscles—and your teeth—healthy by brushing twice a day and wearing your retainer if you have one. Your smile is your superpower! 🦸

🦷 Braces 101 for Parents 🦷

Middle school is a perfect time for braces—teeth are still shifting, and bones are more adaptable, which means treatment can be faster and more effective. Plus, a properly aligned smile helps with chewing, speaking, and even boosting confidence. Don’t worry—our team makes sure braces are comfortable, safe, and even fun for your child!

✅ Best Choices: Water (always #1!), milk for strong enamel, and unsweetened tea

❌ Drinks to Avoid or Limit: Soda, sports drinks, coffee, and energy drinks—these can stain teeth or cause cavities
