Laffy Taffy Isn’t Funny….

….When It Costs Your Parents Money!!! With Halloween quickly approaching, we wanted to post a gentle reminder about the types of candy that you can enjoy and the unfortunate list of things you should avoid while in orthodontic treatment. At the risk of sounding like we don’t want you to have ANY fun this holiday season, we hope that you can enjoy as much candy as you’d like without unnecessary trips to the office to repair or replace broken brackets etc. It’s all about candy!!! You can have as much as you’d like, (or your parents will let you have), as long as it’s soft, delicious, mouth-watering and not sticky, chewy, gooey, crackely, or crunchy…you get it. Please resist biting into a caramel apple, crunching into a hunk of peanut brittle, and chewing a huge piece of bubble gum! If by chance you happen to be in need of “repairs” please call our office ASAP to schedule an appointment. October is National Orthodontic Health Month and we invite you to log on to their website www.braces.org/NOHM for tricks, treats and “braces friendly” recipes. Be safe, have fun and enjoy!!!
