You’ve decorated the Christmas tree with ornaments and the house with lights. How about decorating your braces for the holidays? We know all about how to make your braces festive with fun seasonal color combinations! Here are some tips!
Those Tiny Colored Bands
One of our favorite things about having braces during the holidays is that you get to choose new colors every time you get a braces adjustment — and you can choose festive colors during the holidays! The tiny bands that attach the wires of your braces to the brackets on your teeth come in a full rainbow of colors, giving you nearly endless possibilities for decorating your braces during the holidays!
Starting Ideas
Decorating your braces during the holidays can start with traditional colors like red and green. Or you could choose all different shades of blue to match the icy winter weather outside.
Or you could get inspiration from some of your favorite holiday things! Do you have a favorite Christmas sweater you like to wear to parties? You could match the colors so your braces and sweater will be a perfect match for holiday parties and events!
If you’re unsure where to start, ask your orthodontist for suggestions! They can tell you the colors that others your age are choosing to celebrate the joy of the holiday season.
Holiday Braces Care
Taking good care of your braces will help your smile shine its brightest all season long! Make sure to brush your teeth thoroughly after eating and only eat braces-friendly foods, even if it looks like a really fun holiday treat! There are plenty of fun holiday treats you’ll have a chance to enjoy that are safe for your braces.
Generally, holiday foods that are crunchy, chewy, hard, or sticky can put your braces at greater risk of breaking. So stick to foods that are soft, easy to chew, and don’t stick to your teeth or braces.
If you have more questions about braces-friendly foods or braces care during the holiday season, your orthodontist is the best person to ask questions! They’ll be happy to help you navigate the holidays with your braces worry-free so you can enjoy the festivities and fun of the season!

Reviews From Our Patients

Sammy, Connor, the front desk staff, Dental Hygenist and especially Dr. Town are amazing! It’s great to see the same faces everyone I get a cleaning! Sammy makes the experience comfortable and welcome. Connor may be quiet but he always does a great job! The dental hygienist always remembers me and my kids. Sorry I cant remember her name but she knows who I am and that’s what matters:) Thankful for this staff and the great care they give to my family!

I love it here. I have never seen a dental office give flowers to first timers. Everyone was so welcome if. In pain but you guys still made me smile. I told my daughter she need to come there. I love how you guys work with options of payment. Again thanks for making me smile in pain.

We’ve always had a good experience at Stonehaven. The women at the front desk are always cheerful and helpful. I love the hygienists, they always make my children and I feel comfortable and informed. I have pretty high dental anxiety and they’ve never tried to minimize my fears- but they listen to me, and help me feel as comfortable as possible. The dentists and orthodontists have been great! No issues at all. (I just wish my daughter was better at flossing, but we’re working on that!)

"This is my first time at Stonehaven dental. Everyone was super friendly, and helpful. Dr Town came in and visited with me and together we developed a treatment plan to address the issues that were present on my teeth. Couldn't be more happy with the experience with everyone in the office!"
