Stockings are a great place to pack \u201clittle\u201d gifts, like caramel popcorn, flavored gum, or peppermint bark. Since these treats have the potential to cause a bracket or wire to break, it\u2019s important that your child avoids them altogether for now. Naturally, that might leave you wondering, \u201cWhat are some braces<\/a>-friendly stocking stuffer gifts?\u201d Keep reading for a few ideas!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

1. An Electric Toothbrush<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Is your child still using a manual toothbrush? Then ask their dentist if it\u2019s time for an upgrade! Electric toothbrushes can help make cleaning their teeth and<\/em> their braces easier. Plus, many brands have replaceable heads that can be delivered automatically, which helps prevent plastic waste and makes switching out the bristles every three months easier than ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Flavored Toothpaste<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Does your child think oral hygiene is boring? Here\u2019s some good news: it doesn\u2019t have to be! Instead of sticking to the standard minty flavor, give them a cinnamon, bubble gum, or peppermint one. Just make sure that it has the ADA Seal of Approval or that their dentist gives it the thumbs-up first. After all, you want to pick one that is fun and<\/em> effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Colorful Floss<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Colorful floss is another great way to spice up your child\u2019s oral hygiene routine. You can also look for pre-threaded floss, which makes maneuvering the string around the brackets and wires significantly easier. It may seem small, but these changes can make all the difference in your child\u2019s motivation to consistently floss!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Sugar-Free Candy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Of course, the holidays wouldn\u2019t quite be the same without candy. Don\u2019t worry \u2013 your child doesn\u2019t have to steer clear of sweet treats entirely because of their braces. However, it is a good idea to opt for sugar-free options when you can. Otherwise, choose dark and milk chocolate over sticky, sour gummies \u2013 those can tug on your child\u2019s braces and<\/em> cling to their teeth for hours on end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. A Polaroid Camera<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your child\u2019s smile is going to undergo a major transformation between their first and last appointment. What better way to document that progress than with a polaroid camera? Then, they\u2019ll have a fun way to see how far they\u2019ve come!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. A Fun Travel Case<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Does your child have a case for their rubber bands? Maybe they need something to hold their oral hygiene supplies while they are sleeping over at a friend\u2019s house, camping, or traveling. Either way, you should consider getting them a storage case or bag with a fun color or their favorite character! It\u2019s a great upgrade from the standard clear ones they get at the beginning of their treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With these stocking stuffer gifts, your child can have a holiday season that their tastebuds and their oral health will love!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
