October is National Orthodontic Health Month, and we wanted to remind our patients at Gerlein Orthodontics to be extra careful when they bite into their treats. Remember, caramels, taffy, nuts, chewing gum, popcorn kernels, suckers or sticky, chewy and hard candy are foods you should be avoiding this Halloween Season! Indulging in these foods can break your braces and lengthen your treatment time!
Of course, Halloween doesn’t have to be completely treat-less. Plain chocolate candy should be fine, as long as you remember to brush afterward!
Lastly, we are having a "guess the weight of the pumpkin contest" this month, and will be having a candy buy back next month.
See you soon!
- The Gerlein Orthodontics staff
