Spinach Apple Smoothie | NEW RECIPE

Your kid’s diet should have fruits and veggies for complete nutrition. But when he does not eat them in their solid form, you might want to consider smoothies. Smoothies are great for both kids and adults, and even better for new patients being treated at Bailey Orthodontics as they are braces friendly. The trick is to make the idea of smoothies exciting – get your children involved in the process. Let them make smoothies with fruits of their choice, on the condition that they will drink it.

To help get you started on your smoothie journey, we're sharing a delicious recipe with you below! Try it out this weekend and let us know how you liked it!

Find Out Why Adults Are Getting Braces In 2017

Holiday Foods To Avoid With Braces

The holiday season is here and before you know it, holiday parties and family gatherings will soon be upon us! With winter holidays come favorite winter treats we eagerly await year after year. Before you reach for that candy cane or toffee this year, Bailey Orthodontics wants you to stop and think about your braces. Just because the holiday season is here, doesn’t mean you should indulge in treats that are harmful to your braces. This Christmas, please remember to review the foods that can damage your braces and do your best to avoid them.

To ensure you don’t have to make an emergency visit to Bailey Orthodontics, please avoid:

1. Crunchy foods – Crusty breads (like some pizza crusts), pretzels, ice, and chips can all cause wires and brackets to break, so stay away from anything that is too crunchy. 
2. Hard foods – Before you reach for the veggie plate, cut any hard vegetables into bite sized pieces. Avoid things like nuts, popcorn, hard candies, etc. that can break or bend the brackets or wires. 
3. Sticky, chewy foods – Caramel, licorice, taffy, toffee, etc. can all pull on your brackets and cause damage. 

Feeling a little down about missing out on some of your favorite holiday foods? We have good news; there are still plenty of treats and holiday foods that you can enjoy. Soft foods such as puddings, ice cream, pies, and cakes as well as mashed potatoes and dinner rolls, are just a few holiday favorites that are A-OK!

Slight damage to braces can happen to the best of us, but it’s important to get them repaired in a timely manner. Your braces can’t efficiently move your teeth if they’re broken, so take note of Bailey Orthodontics holiday hours this season too.

Happy Holidays from Bailey Orthodontics!
