October is National Orthodontic Health Month! October is also a time when great fall festivities take place, including pumpkin patches and trick-or-treating. Trick-or-treating definitely brings back wonderful childhood memories for most of us. We all remember the excitement of collecting candy and then trading with your friends for your favorite items. Unfortunately, these treats can cause damage that may prolong treatment time. However, just because you’re in braces doesn’t mean you can’t have fun on Halloween! There are many brace-friendly options out there, should you choose to consume sweets and candy. Many online resources are available that contain great recipes for those yummy treats we all love and they’re brace-friendly too!
