National Orthodontic Health Month Meets Halloween: Keep Your Smile Spook-Free!

Did you know October is National Orthodontic Health Month? Amid all the Halloween excitement, it’s also a timely reminder to prioritize your orthodontic health.

Orthodontic treatment isn’t just about straight teeth.  It also helps with bite, function, and long-term oral health. But with Halloween treats everywhere, it’s important to protect your braces or aligners.

Avoid sticky, chewy, and hard candies that can damage your appliances. Go for braces-friendly options like plain chocolate or peanut butter cups, and don’t forget to brush and floss after enjoying your snack!

With a little extra care, you can keep your treatment on track and your smile looking its best.

Have questions about braces-friendly treats or need to schedule a check-up? Give us a call at (412) 828-3223.  Located right in the heart of Oakmont, AB Orthodontics is always happy to help.

Happy Halloween and Happy Orthodontic Health Month from all of us at AB Orthodontics!
