One of the things we love about being a St. George, Utah orthodontist is how many great stories we get to hear about teachers making a difference in the lives of our patients.

Last month we asked our patients to nominate a Washington County School District teacher who has made a difference in their lives. Now the nominations are in and it is time to vote!

We will be issuing three classroom grants to Washington County School District Teachers:

$500 – One Elementary School Teacher

$500 – One Middle / Intermediate School Teacher

$500 – One High School Teacher

Teachers work so hard. This is especially true over the past few years when teachers have faced so many unexpected challenges. We have been proud to see how well our Washington County School District teachers have stepped up to the challenges and we are glad that our patients have such amazing role models.

Orthodontic Specialists wants to say "thank you" to our hard-working Washington County School District teachers by donating to three of the teachers who have made the biggest impact on our patients.

This is our second year offering grants to teachers. Last year we were able to meet some amazing teachers through your nominations and the grant recipients we were able to meet us in person impressed us so much with their dedication to their students.

Having braces does not mean you need to give up all your favorite treats (although we do recommend brushing your teeth well after eating). You just have to be a bit more careful about the types of treats you choose.

Fortunately, there are some great options available that are not only delicious but also safe to eat when you have braces on.

Cake

Cake is one of everyone’s favorite special occasion treat and it can be hard to avoid. The good news is, cake is soft and won’t damage the brackets on your braces. Feel free to jump in and celebrate whenever a cake is involved.

Cookies

Most cookies are safe to eat when you have braces. Avoid cookies with any hard, decorative toppings or ones that have caramels in them. Sugar cookies, chocolate chip cookies, or any other soft cookie is fine to eat when you have braces.

Ice Cream 

Ice cream is always a favorite treat option, and it can be a great choice when you have braces. Eating cold ice cream when your teeth are sore after having your braces adjusted can help them feel better, so that’s an added bonus. Avoid ice cream that contains hard mix-ins or caramel.

Pudding

Pudding is a great choice as a treat when you have braces. It is easy to eat after having an adjustment too so this may be a great option to reward yourself with after an orthodontist visit.

Brownies

You can’t go wrong with brownies! These can be a fantastic option when you have braces on, just avoid brownies with nuts or caramel.

We hope these desert options help you choose treats that are safe when you have braces on. Our team is always available if you are unsure about the types of foods you can enjoy during your treatment. Thank you for allowing us to be your St. George, Utah orthodontist!
