4 Stocking Stuffers for Teens with Braces

For many teens, braces are a right of passage. However, despite reaping a lifelong reward of a straighter smile after treatment, living with metal brackets and wires isn’t always fun, especially during the holidays. If you have a teenager with braces, the typical stocking stuffers of candy likely won’t cut it. Instead, help them get excited and power through their journey with fun, orthodontic-friendly stocking stuffers! Read on for four great gift ideas to fill your child’s holiday stocking.

An Electric Toothbrush

If your teen has an old manual toothbrush or outdated electric one, getting them a new motorized brush would be a great gift idea! There are countless options out there in all different price ranges, allowing you to choose a style and type that fits your teenager’s unique vibe. Whether you opt for a Quip, hum, or Philips electric toothbrush, these can make cleaning between brackets and wires much easier, helping them avoid developing cavities throughout their treatment.

A Polaroid Camera

Braces are a one-and-done type of treatment, meaning these precious moments of teenagehood can only be captured for a short amount of time! A stocking stuffer like a polaroid camera will help them not only track their progress, allowing them to see just how much their effort paid off in the end, but also allow them to treasure these special moments when they get older.

Small Gifts to Pass Time

While these aren’t so braces-centric as some other ideas on this list, small gifts that help your teenager delve into new hobbies or pass the time are great stocking stuffers. Items like a new pair of headphones, socks with their favorite TV show characters on them, new pajamas, playing cards, or a puzzle are all excellent gifts to fill their stocking.

Fun-Flavored Toothpaste & Dental Floss

If your teen isn’t fond of mint flavoring, which most dental hygiene products are, then you may try getting them some exciting new flavors of toothpaste and dental floss. From raspberry to bubblegum and coconut, there are several different brands that make these! Just be sure to choose products with the ADA Seal of Approval, ensuring that they have all of the necessary ingredients to keep your teen’s smile cavity-free.
