Halloween is a super exciting time of the year where adults and children alike can dress up and have fun. It’s a night filled with sugar-loaded sweets and treats, which makes it an extra scary time for brace-wearers.
Fortunately, whether you or your child wears them, we’re here to help you avoid any brace-related frights this Halloween and recommend treats you can enjoy. But first, here’s an overview of the actual damage sugar can have on your teeth and braces.
Before we get into cleaning braces, let’s discuss what they actually are.
What are braces?
Brace treatment involves using appliances to straighten crooked, crowded or protruding teeth, close gaps between teeth and correct the bite. There are a variety of different orthodontic braces available, some of which are fixed, located on the outside or the inside of the teeth, and some that are removable.
Orthodontic treatment is the process of straightening teeth to not only achieve a more pleasing smile but better alignment to help with cleaning and chewing. Metal braces are some of the most affordable and effective forms of braces, and we offer them here at Oldham Orthodontics!
