The hidden secret of the chocolate easter bunnies.
Happy Easter.
We wish you a great holiday break.
A chocolate Easter bunny is a nice treat; however, be careful of hidden dangers.
Chocolate with fruit and nut: the nuts are too hard and may cause brackets to come off. The raisins are very sticky and will get stuck around your appliance.
Chocolate that contains caramel is very sticky and chewy and should be avoided.
Chocolate that contains nougat: Nougat gets stuck around your appliance.
Chocolate from the fridge is too hard to eat whilst wearing orthodontic appliances; ensure it is at room temperature before consuming.
However, we advise avoiding sugary foods while wearing braces. While wearing your braces, you will want to avoid extremely soft, chewy or sticky foods that contain a large amount of sugar or starch. Foods that are safe and unsafe while you are wearing your braces.
Cake and pies
Energy drinks
Extremely soft bread
Fruit juices
Gum
Heavily processed foods
Ice cream
Fizzes
Sports drinks
And it is essential to brush your teeth 30 minutes after every meal.
This role will keep your teeth nice and healthy throughout orthodontic treatment.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
