The holidays are an exciting time for kids, and stocking stuffers are one of the most anticipated parts of the season; after all, it\u2019s always thrilling to have smaller gifts in addition to the bigger ones! But if your child has braces,<\/a> it\u2019s important to choose gifts that aren\u2019t just fun, but also non-damaging to the metal brackets and wires. Here are some ideas that will inspire you and that your little one\u2014and their braces\u2014will appreciate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Braces-Friendly Dental Care Gifts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Oral hygiene is especially important during orthodontic treatment, making dental care items both practical and appreciated. Colorful toothbrushes, travel-sized toothpaste, kid-friendly flossers, and even orthodontic wax are all perfect dental-themed stocking stuffers. You can go a step further and get your child a kit to hold all their supplies when away from home, or upgrade their toothbrush to an electric one to give them an edge against cavities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Safe-to-Eat (but Still Festive) Treats<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Treats don\u2019t have to be off limits; choose wisely. Soft, braces-safe options like sugar-free chocolate that melts easily, dark chocolate since it has less sugar than milk chocolate, pudding cups, Jell-O, applesauce, or yogurt can all satisfy a sweet tooth without damaging brackets or wires. Sugar-free chewing gum can also help to stimulate saliva and reduce plaque buildup. Avoid hard candies like candy canes and Jolly Ranchers, chewy items like caramels and taffy, and particularly sticky snacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Non-Food Toys & Trinkets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Non-food items are often the safest choice for kids with braces. Small toys, fidget spinners, art supplies, stickers, puzzles, and even crazy socks all make great stocking stuffers that you can even repeat year after year\u2014which is great if you know your child will still have their braces next holiday season. These gifts are affordable, fun, and most importantly, cannot interfere with orthodontic treatment!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choosing braces-friendly stocking stuffers helps keep your child\u2019s treatment on track while still letting them enjoy all of the holiday fun. If you still have questions about their orthodontic care, whether it\u2019s what they shouldn\u2019t eat or how they should maintain their braces, don\u2019t hesitate to let their provider know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
