When wearing braces, be careful about what you eat, but you can still enjoy Halloween treats. Think about yummy chocolate melting in your mouth, mmm. If candy is soft and melts, it likely fine to eat without hurting your braces.
Anything candy that is sticky or too hard can knock your brackets loose and should be avoided.
