With Easter approaching many will be receiving Easter baskets filled with yummy treats! Just remember to stay away from the sticky & hard candy so you don't break appliances and braces. Here are some brace-friendly treats you may still have.
1.Chocolate
Some chocolates are off limits such as Twix, Snickers, caramel filled chocolate or anything stuffed with hard nuts. Some good options would be regular M&Ms, Hershey bars or kisses, Reese's & peppermint patties.
2. Baked goods
Cupcakes, cookies, brownies & more are an acceptable option for Easter treats! Baked goods are always a great addition to the sweets table at Easter! Baking is also a fun activity to do as a family the day before easter if you like to bake!
3.Other goodies
You can always enjoy a small toy, video game, clothes, summer essentials & gift cards! There are no candy options from the Easter bunny!
Here are the goodies to stay away from:
1.Jelly beans
Jelly beans may be delicious but are extremely sticky & can easily break off brackets or get stuck in wires!
2. Peeps
Peeps are known for being the staple of the Easter season, but stay away! They are sugar- coated marshmallows. Marshmallows can cause your brackets to fall off, get stuck in wires & pull out bands and appliances!
3.Mini eggs
Mini eggs may be chocolate- but they have a hard candy coating outside that can very easily break braces off & even bend wires.
If you can't resist & are tempted by non-friendly brace goodies just be careful & brush and floss well afterwards. If something does break, please call the office for an emergency visit as soon as possible to fix it.
Azizi Orthodontics wishes you & your family a very Happy Easter & a wonderful day spent with your families! See you soon!!
