oranges and orange juice = yes

crunchy peanut butter has nuts in it, so no.
but i do crunchy peanut butter AND luna bars anyway haha. you can at your own risk.
actually Luna bars should be okay, their not that bad.

but if you JUST got them on dont eat ANYTHING hard!
the glue on your teeth havent dried entirely. wait at least a couple days to eat anything remotely hard.
i ate popcorn the first day i got them on and a bracket fell off.
stupid move. :\

there's this floss theader for people with braces so you can get the floss under your braces easier.

oh and sugarfree gum is okay, just make sure you dont press it into your braces when you chew.

good luck!

oranges and orange juice should be fine just have it through a straw to be safe so it doesnt touch your braces, and since you're not allowed nuts, i dont think eating crunchy peanut butter would be such a good idea since it probably has whole or parts of peanuts in it. im not sure what luna bars are but if theyre crunchy then no, dont eat them.

i got some un-waxed floss from walgreens, its really thin and not hard like the normal stuff..get that..its good!!

well lets see...sometimes i sneak a crunchy food here and there...and to not mess up my braces ill suck on that it till it gets soggy and soft enough for me to chew. (for example things like toast or pizza crust.)

oh yea dont forget to brush your teeth after eating!! also omg please dont have gum!!

believe me i have bracers to dont eat anything hard u will regret it
ask ure dentist for floss they should have it
u can drink orange juice or eat oranges but its annoying coz it get stcuk in ya teeth i suggest u also stay off the sweets alwise when u go for a checkup ure head will be in the smasher
hope this helps=>

just try to not eat too much candy or anything your dentist tells you not to eat(maybe only once a month or something)..don't eat candy becayse it causes your teeth to decay more rapidly..... and make sure you always brush your teeth (circular ways) at least 2 times a day.. and try to floss (using the plastic needle 4 your flossing string) once a day...
take care of your smile bacause its valuable..

Oranges and orange juice is fine. Crunchy peanut butter is not.
Generally any kind of floss works. Waxed is pretty good.
I hate my braces. Sorry, just thought I'd throw that in there. But yeah, don't eat nuts or crunchy peanut butter. And just hang in there, I know they suck but (hopefully) it'll all be worth it in the end. That's what I tell myself anyway.
Oh, and a word of advice, don't chew gum. The orthodontist will totally stress that, and you might think, yeah, well, I'll just be careful. But it probably won't go well, so yeah, just listen when they say that.
