Halloween Candy Do’s & Don’ts

We love Halloween just as much as the next person, but we know how having braces can put a bit of a damper on the holiday when you’re not sure what candy you’re able to eat. To help you enjoy Halloween without damaging your braces, we’ve put together a little cheat sheet of which candies and treats you’re able to eat and which ones you should avoid. Hint: Avoid caramel apples at all costs.
