whole fruits and veggies, don't suck on lemons, limes, or ice, avoid drinks that contain sugar, hard candy, corn chips, popcorn, jerky, ice, nuts, pizza crust, corn on the cob, jolly ranchers, bubble gum, gum, starbursts, sugar daddies, tootsie rolls, gummy bears, caramels, taffy, and other chewy candies, avoid chewing on pens and pencils.
popcorn, gum, most candies, corn on the cob, and a few other similar products
well you wont really want to eat anything you have to really bite into example no hamurgers, pb&j ok, your teeth will be sore.
when i got my braces on, i had to wait for 2 weeks before i could bite into anything solid. I suggest pudding, jello, bananas, and my favorite ice cream!! stock up!!
I remember when I had my braces on (several years ago). I was told not to chew gum, and not to eat apples you can cut them up, but no biting into them or you'll bend the wire in the front of your teeth. You wont be too concerned with eating anything for the first couple of days. The tightening of your teeth gives you kind of an ache in them. You wont want to chew till you get used to them. I'll tell you its so worth it. When the came off for the first 3 or 4 days all I did was run my tongue over my teeth cause it felt so smooth and my lips didn't feel like they were sticking out. It was the best feeling. I also had clear braces on my front teeth, so I was told not to eat red sauces because they might stain. Good luck! Everything is going to be great. One piece of advice... when you get them off and if you get a retainer. Never ever stop putting that retainer in at night. After 20 years my teeth have shifted. A friend who's brother is a dentist said that I should have kept the retainer and just kept using it for a couple hours every night (forever) even after I was told that I didn't need it anymore. I just tossed it cause I was so happy to be finished with the whole thing.
my son doesn't have trouble eating. when he eat hamburger or pizza he cut it bite size. stay away from gummi bears and gum, ice. and popcorns..
You can't have popcorn, gum (unless it's sugar free), hard candy, chewy candy (like Tootsie Rolls, caramels, taffy,etc.), beef jerky,chips (Doritos Frito's and tortilla) and they advise you to cut down on sugary food and drinks. You can't chew on ice or nails or pencils either. Your teeth might be sensitive to hot or cold food and drinks for a while, but 5 min. after i got mine, i had a milkshake and was fine, so it really depends on the person. I eat everything that i'm not supposed to and haven't popped a bracket yet. just be careful! you also have to try and brush 2-3 times a day cause it's twice as easy to get cavities. anyway have fun with them lol -K8 (triminman's daughter)
hey i just got my bottom braces back in july and top ones about a month ago so i can help....things you cant eat are popcorn...sticky candies(taffy,tootsie rolls,carmel..etc.) gum.....gumballs....jaw breakers....anything thats really hard or sticky... dont drink alot of soda because it could stain your teeth and give you cavities and when you get ur braces off it might leave white squares from where the brackets were....stick to soft foods for a while it will take about 2-4 days till the pain goes away..... hereare some good things to eat for the first few days...yogurt....apple sauce.....cut up bananas.....blue berries (mabey).....pre-canned fruit such as peaches and pears. oh and if you eat apples dont bite into them whole cut them into wedges and with corn on the cobb cut it off the cobb........good luck !!
