Many treats can cause havoc for trick-or-treaters with braces, clear aligners, or other orthodontic appliances. They could cause damage to brackets and wires that might prolong treatment.
Avoid treats that are sticky, hard, chewy, or crunchy.
We recommend foods that are soft and easy to chew. Remember to brush and floss after eating. Even "good" candy can cause cavities.
