Halloween is the time of the year that kids can’t resist candy. However, unknown to them, the candy twists, blends and pulls off their braces. That is why the American Association of Orthodontists has come up with some words of caution for kids and parents to help their smile. Bobbing for apples is not recommended by any orthodontist. In fact, bites from apples put pressure on the front teeth, which may make the brackets loose. Candy corn is also a no – no, since the older it gets, the chewier it becomes, which is not good for those wearing straightening devices. To solve this constant mess, orthodontists have come up with solutions to try and solve the problem. Some of the practices that have proved effective include:
The Use of Orthodontic Wax
If you realize your child’s brackets are breaking, then it’s time to consider using an orthodontic wax. This wax is available from an orthodontist, or it can be purchased at most drug stores. This wax can hold any loose or broken brackets in place until the next appointment. If the holding wire pops loose and is irritating to the cheek, placing the wax at the end will also help to alleviate the pain.
Avoid Sticky or Chewy Candy
It is best to stick with softer candy, such as plain chocolate bars, and avoid sticky and chewy candy. Examples of sticky or chewy candy include Starburst or taffy. As children enjoy their favorite candy and chocolate, they should remember that it can mess up their teeth forcing them to have braces on for even longer.
By using caution with candy during the Halloween season, children can get their braces removed as quickly as possible, and can avoid unnecessary trips to the orthodontist.

It only takes a split second to smile and forget, yet to someone that needed it, it can last a lifetime. ― Steve Maraboli
The motivational speaker Steve Maraboli believes that giving someone a smile provides a lifetime of memories. When you smile at anyone, the expression may last less than a second, but it helps the other person feel better all day and influences someone’s behavior. If you avoid smiling because your teeth are crooked, then it is time to visit an orthodontist for a thorough examination. In many cases, a tiny change in your teeth’s alignment can make a huge difference in the appearance of a smile, and this is why many individuals choose to wear Invisalign to straighten their teeth.
Contents
Wear Clear Aligners
Invisalign aligners are one of the newest treatments recommended by an orthodontist for mild malocclusions. When you wear removable plastic aligners, the treatment plan typically lasts less than one year but can make a big difference in the positions of your teeth. These aligners are created in an assortment of sets, but each has a slightly different configuration. You are responsible for wearing the aligners in the correct order to move your teeth slowly into correct positions in the mouth. While you wear clear aligners, others can barely see the devices, so you can continue to give a great smile to anyone.
Schedule an Appointment
If you live in Manhattan Beach, Calif., then schedule an appointment with Dr. Patricia J. Panucci at Beach Braces. She is a knowledgeable orthodontist who provides personalized care to adults, teenagers, and children. While Dr. Panucci recommends Invisalign for many of her patients, she also offers these types of braces:
• Lingual – brackets are placed on the backs of teeth
• Self-ligating – designed without metal ties
• Wild smile – colorful brackets
• Clear – nearly invisible wires and brackets
When you have moderate to severe malocclusions, Dr. Panucci suggests that traditional braces rather than aligners are a better choice for repairing your misalignments.

What Are the Signs? (Braces May Be Needed)
Braces. Few children grow up to have perfect teeth. Despite the best efforts of parents to train their kids in effective dental hygiene and twice-a-year checkups with a dentist, permanent teeth may display problems. Common dental concerns include teeth that do not come in when they should or in their designated place. Uneven alignment between upper and lower teeth is another issue. In fact, there are several scenarios that suggest someone may need or benefit from orthodontic treatment.

Life is Too Short Not to Smile. Smile As Much As You Can. ― Steve Imig
Did you know that up to one-third of people say that the first thing they notice about someone is their smile? Think about your own smile. What is the first thing that someone would notice about YOUR smile? Are you smiling as much as you can, or are your smiles tight-lipped because you’re self-conscious? Whether your teeth need a little bit of work or a lot, an orthodontist can help. Orthodontics aren’t just for teenagers–you deserve a beautiful and healthy smile, too!
Contents
Why should you get braces?
Straight teeth are a great way to improve your self-esteem, but your mouth is about a lot more than just looking good. Properly aligned teeth improve your overall health by protecting your teeth from decay, reducing jaw pain, and sometimes even reducing headaches. Whether you want traditional braces or a less noticeable alternative, your Manhattan Beach orthodontist offers a variety of options for all ages and all lifestyles.
Something for Everyone
You enjoy connecting with your child, but maybe you don’t want to match your teenager when it comes to orthodontics. If that’s the case, there are a variety of options available for your orthodontic needs. Lingual brackets attach behind the teeth instead of on the front for a less obvious but still effective correction. Also available are Esthetic brackets, which work just like traditional brackets but are clear so they are less noticeable on your teeth. Invisalign is a popular and removable option for adults who want straighter teeth without the hassle of brushing around brackets and wires. Invisalign aligners are removed during eating and drinking, and can be removed for special events. No one will even realize that you’re undergoing orthodontic treatment until they notice how straight your teeth look!
Don’t wait any longer to get the straight teeth and healthy mouth that you deserve. Stop dreaming about your perfect smile and make an appointment at Beach Braces. Life is too short not to smile!

No one is too poor to give a smile – a gift, often, of greater consequence than any sum of money ― VironikaTugaleva
A smile is one of the best gifts that you can give to another human being. The best thing about a smile is that it doesn’t cost you a penny to wrap it up or to present it. A heartfelt smile is one of those priceless gifts that people of all income classes can offer to friends, family members, loved ones and strangers who just look as if they need to see a bright smile. Smiles are priceless because:
Contents
They’re Contagious
Smiling is contagious. No one can resist the temptation of a happy smile. Even people who are in pain will smile when they see someone else give them a smile. A dull room with one person smiling can quickly become a room full of beautiful smiles.
They Can Reverse a Frown
Happiness is to sadness as a smile is to a frown. It’s difficult for one person to look at another person who is smiling and keep wearing a frown. Such a situation usually cannot last for more than 30 to 60 seconds.
They Emit Warmth
A pretty smile can emit enough warmth to make a lonely person feel loved or a sick person revived. Everyone should offer a nice smile to someone that they see is suffering.

An honest smile is an icebreaker
When you meet a stranger at work or out in public, an honest smile is an icebreaker. A smile is the universal greeting around the world to say hello to someone. It doesn’t matter if you are at a job interview or social event, just flashing a beautiful smile can open the door to a new career or friendship. If you have a perfect smile, then there is a good chance that you visited an orthodontist as a teenager for treatment. However, when an adult missed out on wearing braces as a teenager, it is still possible to have teeth straightened to improve a smile.
Choose Clear Plastic Aligners
There are several orthodontic treatments available today to reduce malocclusions of the teeth, including Invisalign aligners that are easy to wear each day and remove for oral hygiene. When you are approved to wear Invisalign to repair gaps between your teeth, an orthodontist uses three-dimensional images to create up to 25 sets of aligners in slightly different configurations. By wearing the aligners in the correct order, you will have an improved smile line in six months to one year without needing to have metal wires and brackets fastened to your teeth.
If you live in or near Manhattan Beach, Calif., then it is easy to find a fantastic orthodontist at Beach Braces to learn more about the different treatments available to create an honest smile. Dr. Patricia J. Panucci is available for examinations at her orthodontic facility to help patients have an attractive smile with these types of braces:

• Lingual

• Invisalign

Orthodontic Treatment for Children, Teenagers or Adults
If you have mild misalignment of your front teeth, then Invisalign removable aligners are a perfect choice. These devices are appropriate for adults or teenagers who can remember to wear the items at least 23 hours each day. The only time you should remove Invisalign devices is to floss and brush your teeth, but an orthodontist might permit taking the devices out for special occasions such as prom night or wedding ceremonies. Children must wear traditional types of braces such as:
• Old-fashioned devices with metal brackets and wires
• Ceramic devices that have brackets that match your teeth
• Self-ligating devices that require fewer office visits
Sometimes teenagers and adults must wear traditional braces because they have moderate to severe malocclusions.
Schedule an Appointment
The residents of California can schedule an appointment with a caring orthodontist at Manhattan Beach Braces. Dr. Patricia J. Panucci has always loved brushing and flossing her own teeth and wants everyone to have a perfect smile just like her. After orthodontic treatment from Dr. Panucci, your face will always light up with a beautiful smile. It is easy to contact Manhattan Beach Braces with an email or telephone call at 310-379-0006.

Halloween is the time of the year that kids can’t resist candy. However, unknown to them, the candy twists, blends and pulls off their braces. That is why the American Association of Orthodontists has come up with some words of caution for kids and parents to help their smile. Bobbing for apples is not recommended by any orthodontist.

Candy corn is also a no – no, since the older it gets, the chewier it becomes, which is not good for those wearing straightening devices. To solve this constant mess, orthodontists have come up with solutions to try and solve the problem. Some of the practices that have proved effective include:
