Ingredients:

1 Orange
Choice of assorted fresh or frozen fruits

Directions:

Wash and chop assorted fruits and mix together in a bowl. Set aside. Slice off the top of an orange (as you would for a Jack-O-Lantern). Scoop out the inside of orange using a knife and spoon. Add the juice from the orange to your fruit salad. Carve a face into the orange. Fill the orange with the fruit salad, allowing the fruit to pop out of eyes and mouth.

For most kids, overflowing bags of Halloween candy are the highlights of the season. But, many of the foods can mean big trouble for trick-or-treaters who wear braces. "If it's sticky, chewy, hard or crunchy, it's a food that anyone wearing braces or retainers should avoid," says Dr. James J. Caveney, president of the AAO.
