When I first got my braces, all I wanted to eat was Cream of Wheat. That way, I didn't have to chew. The braces made me feel like someone had pliers and were trying to pull all of my teeth out at the same time. Yes, your braces feel weird because you just got them, but in time, that feeling will go away. Make sure you stay away from apples. I kept popping off one of the brackets every time I'd eat an apple. You'd think I would have learned, huh? Did they give you any wax? My braces rubbed against the inside of my mouth right in the front on the bottom teeth. The dentist told me that the area had to get toughened up, and then it would hurt any more. How long do you have to wear the braces? I wore mine for 5 years. Don't obsess about it, though. Things do get better, I promise!!!!
Its normal, you will get used to it, Unless your Orthodontist said otherwise, I think you can eat what you want.
You'll get used to braces over time, although it will still feel funny every time they get tightened. Try eating softer foods for the first day or so, until you get used to it. Afterwards, you can stay away from anything too hard or sticky (cut up apples instead of biting into them, etc.) but things should return back to normal.
When I got my braces put on it felt weird to eat, talk, and even close my mouth!!! I found that eating apple sauce and soup was about all I could do for a week. I would avoid having bite into anything for a while. Good luck and feel free to take Tylenol or another pain reliever if the pain gets bad.
As long as it doesnt hurt when you bite down,if it does try soft foods.
You will definitely get use to the feeling,it just takes some time.
It is going to hurt for the first couple of days when you eat. It will feel better later on. It is just your teeth getting used to it. You have to be careful with what you eat, always. You can break your braces with certain foods,and it hurts when the orthodontist goes to fix it. Have fun, and know that it is all worth it in the long run! =)
i suggest soft food because it will hurt later. sorry :] i just got my braces in july. it will feel wierd at first but if you eat hard foods it will hurt worse later
hope i helped :]
