Season's Eatings: Expert Tips for Cooking and Eating Holiday Meals With Dental Braces in Mind

The holidays are just around the corner, and that means lots of special tempting foods. But if you or your kids have dental braces, those fun foods can wreak havoc. Sticky toffee, nuts, chips, and chewy meats can be difficult to maneuver with braces, and can even break orthodontic brackets, resulting in inconvenient and expensive trips to the dentist or orthodontist.

Lynn Schneider, owner of DentaKit.com, a website that specializes in orthodontic information and products, offers some tips to help cook (and eat) a successful holiday dinner that is braces-friendly. Schneider had braces for three years as an adult, and her daughters both had braces as preteens. "Holiday food can be particularly challenging when you have braces on your teeth because it's so difficult to chew correctly," Schneider says. "It's easy to feel left out when everyone around you is munching on delicious treats you can't or shouldn't eat." These are the tips that Schneider has compiled from her own personal experience, and from running her orthodontic business for the past 16 years. Read latest news here.
