There are so many things to look forward to when the spooky season comes around! Jack-o’-lantern’s line the street, all the ghouls and goblins come out to play, and of course, there’s plenty of candy! If someone in your family has braces this Halloween, we can help make sure they have a spooktacular time!

How To Care For Braces This Halloween

Those with braces can still participate in all the Halloween festivities! They just need to be aware of any treats that are very sticky or hard. This includes sweets like bubble gum, taffy, hard candies and anything with nuts or caramel in it. Attempting to eat one of these candies could result in broken brackets or wires.That being said, treats like KitKats, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and soft chocolate bars are completely safe!

If your family is opting to stay home this Halloween, try making a braces-friendly baked good! We love this chocolate pumpkin cake from Good Housekeeping or these Halloween cookies from Taste of Home.
