HOW WILL BRACES AFFECT MY SPORTS & EXERCISE?
Your braces won’t stop you from playing sports, but you’ll need to take some extra precautions during these activities.
Always wear a mouth guard. It is a rule you should follow even if you don’t have braces because it will protect your teeth and prevent you from biting yourself during strenuous sports like rugby, football, basketball, hockey or boxing. Mouth guards can also help minimise concussions by stabilising your mouth during contact sports.
Braces are made to fit comfortably in your mouth, but if you get hit with a ball or the shoulder of a teammate, they can do some serious damage, so the mouth guard is vital whenever you head out to play.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!

26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
