October is National Orthodontic Health Month. October also winds up with Halloween, one of our favorite holidays. Kids with braces need to be careful when they bite into treats. Eating these “off limits” foods will break your braces and lengthen treatment time. Bobbing for apples is not recommended for braces. Orthodontic patients can enjoy thinly sliced apples, dipped in yogurt or creamy chocolate sauce. Of course, Halloween does not have to be completely treat-less. Plain chocolate candy is OK, provided you remember to brush and floss after wards.
