Little ghouls and ghals everywhere are getting ready for the most spooktacular holiday of the year, Halloween! Whether you’re planning on tricking or treating your family this year, there are many festive things to enjoy! Just because someone in your family is undergoing orthodontic treatment, doesn’t mean they have to miss out on any of the fun!

Ideas For Halloween With Braces

The most important thing to remember when celebrating Halloween with braces, is to avoid eating anything too sticky or hard. This includes candies like caramel, bubble gum and anything with nuts in it. That being said, there’s still plenty of treats and activities to enjoy this year with braces! Just make sure everyone follows the proper oral hygiene routine after indulging in some sweets. Our team has put together a list of fun and braces-safe activities for your whole family to enjoy!

Make Halloween Treats At Home

The good news is that those with braces can eat most baked goods! Betty Crocker has many delicious and fun Halloween inspired recipes you could try! We particularly love the jack-o’-lantern cake.

Have A Halloween Scavenger Hunt

As most of us are staying at home this Halloween, try hiding candies all over your house for a Halloween scavenger hunt! Those with braces can enjoy treats like Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, KitKats and plain M&M’s. You can even throw in a few tricks along the way to give your family a spooky surprise!

Check Out One Of These Local Events

Luckily for us, the GTA has many safe and socially distant Halloween events going on this year! We suggest one of the following:

• “Boo At The Zoo” at the Toronto Zoo
• “Toronto’s Haunted Drive Thru” on Cherry Street
• “Halloween at the Village” at Black Creek Pioneer Village
