Yes, you can eat cheese. It isn't sticky and won't cause any problems. Just brush your teeth afterwards to ensure no bits of cheese are caught in the braces!
Oh cheese it fine. Just be sure to brush afterwards. The things they want to you to stay away from are candies that are sticky like toffees, nuts tend to get stuck in there, caramels, etc.
You can pretty much eat everything. Oh I forgot raisins- they are so sticky!!
Probably
But i dont think your braces will taste very good .
Hard foods-
Anything that is hard cannot be chewed with braces on. Remember, braces are fragile, and strong forces from hard foods will break them off. Damaged appliances will extend treatment time. Extended treatment time will increase the risk of cavities and stains on your teeth.
Sticky foods-
Braces can be pulled apart with sticky foods. Again, this could extend your treatment time.
Anything high in sugar-
Braces make it harder to keep your teeth clean. Sugar will feed the bacteria that cause cavities. If you do eat any foods high in sugar, brush your teeth immediately.
EXAMPLES OF WHAT TO AVOID
Ice....Definitely NO!! It totally destroys braces.
Nuts
Peanut brittle
Hard pizza crust
Corn on the cob
Ribs
Doritos, corn chips, hard tacos, cheetos, fritos and the like
Popcorn
Hard pretzels
Hard rolls and bagels
Raw carrots
Bubble gum
Carmel candy
Beef jerky
Suckers
This is just a small list. Remember, nothing hard, sticky, or sweet!
