Orthodontists Offer Sweet Incentives for Tricky Halloween Treats

Date:10/28/2008

n orthodontist and president of the AAO. "If orthodontic patients are careful about the Halloween treats they eat, they can keep their braces intact and should be able to finish treatment on time and with good results."

So what happens to all of that candy collected by candy buy-back sponsors? Some AAO members donate it to local organizations and charities or send it overseas to sweeten the lives of those serving in the military.

Orthodontic patients may contact their orthodontists to learn if they sponsor a candy buy-back program. For braces-friendly tips and recipes, or to find an orthodontist near you, visit http://www.braces.org.

About the AAO

The AAO comprises 15,500 members in the United States, Canada and abroad. Founded in 1900, the AAO supports research and education leading to quality patient care and promotes increased public awareness of the need for and benefits of orthodontic treatment. Orthodontists are uniquely qualified to correct improperly aligned teeth and jaws. They are specialists in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of dental and facial irregularities. Orthodontists receive two to three years of specialized education beyond dental school to learn the proper way to align and straighten teeth. Only those with this education may call themselves "orthodontists," and only orthodontists may be members of the AAO. The AAO's Web site is http://www.braces.org.

* According to the U.S. Census Bureau

** The 2008 candy buy-back projection is based on the number of AAO

members who said in a 2007 survey that they planned to sponsor a

buy-back program (662) and the average amount of candy collected per

participating member in 2006 (50 pound
