Your braces have beef with the Halloween candy bowl.🍬
Especially the sticky stuff.
Caramels, taffy, gummies, and other chewy candies can grab onto brackets and wires as you bite and chew. That pulling force can loosen a bracket or even cause it to break away from the tooth.
And a broken bracket can mean an unexpected trip to the orthodontist and a potential interruption in your treatment.
If you have braces this Halloween, skip the super sticky and chewy candy and reach for braces-friendly treats instead. Your brackets will thank you!
And if something does break or feel loose, give the orthodontic team at Lindner Dental Associates a call.
