ACCLAIMED PASTRY CHEF AND FOOD NETWORK STAR GALE GAND PROVIDES BRACES-FRIENDLY HALLOWEEN TIPS, TREATS AND RECIPES. Braces-wearing trick-or-treaters take heart: an unlikely hero has come to your aid to make this Halloween sweet and safe. Celebrity pastry chef Gale Gand, known for her decadent sweet creations on the Food Networks Sweet Dreams show, has teamed up with the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) to provide braces-friendly Halloween recipes for the more than five million children and adults in North America who currently wear braces. Halloween tends to be one of the busiest times of the year at orthodontists offices, primarily because patients take liberties and eat treats that they should not be eating. The good news is that there are plenty of food options for orthodontic patients. And with a little diligence and creativity, orthodontic patients can still enjoy Halloween treats. In general, orthodontic patients should look for softer treats, such as soft chocolate or peanut butter cups, or melt-in-your-mouth foods. https://videos.whiteblox.com/gnb/secure/player.aspx?sid=35342
