Braces Safe Candy
Not all Halloween candy is off-limits with braces! 🍬
Soft, meltable treats like Hershey's, Reese's Cups, m&ms (skip the peanut ones!), Kit Kats, and Peppermint Patties are safe bets that won't pull on brackets or wires. Save this list before trick-or-treat night!
And make sure you bring us all the candy you can't eat and we will buy it back for $1 per pound up to 10 pounds! Starting November 2nd!

When to Use Ortho Wax
When should you use orthodontic wax? 🤔 Whether you've just gotten new braces and are still adjusting to the feeling, or you're dealing with poking wires that are causing discomfort, orthodontic wax can be a lifesaver. Are you involved in sports or activities that make you more prone to mouth injuries? 🏈🏀 Or perhaps you're experiencing a sore spot forming from a bracket rubbing against your cheek or lip? 💔 Orthodontic wax can provide a protective barrier to alleviate the discomfort and help you feel more confident in your smile. 💫
