here are some lists of things you cant able have whne you do wearing youre brace's .



cant not have

hard chocolate candies bars , any types of candies
no apples ,but maybe slices of small pieces but okay
no cold ices
no cold sodas will cause the wires fall out
no chewing gums cus will stuck onto youre braces
no hard foods
sweet stuffs too much sugar will damage youre wires and braces even will make it fall out
other things you cant have



but the things you can have thats safe to eat
soft foods as such soups ,chicken, hamburgers,
ice cream, milk, juices, warm water ,
chips,soft cookies , carrots, bannans, grapes, strawberries, other soft fruits, vegetables , other desserts that isnt going cause so much painsful for you.

but dont worried when you do go get youre braces
the dentist will gave you some lists of papers that you can and cant not have and even if you get pains later on like braces sores you can go to the store buy a box of pain killer medican for help the pains you might get few days after you get youre braces . you cant drink no sweet, or very cold drinks .but you can drink warm pink lemonada's whenever you like but dont not put any ices or sugar in it .

you cant have any soda or gadorate(propel, viatam water). basically no carbanated or suger drinks. you can have lemonade but my othro recemended crystal light. everything you eat has to be cut into really small pieces. your ortho will tell you more tomorrow after you get them on. (thats what mine did today)

i just got mine off =) but i just ate like i normally do but if you dont want to do that ask the person who puts them on about it and she will most likely tell you what u can and cant eat and drink. but i think you should be fine drinking gatorade and lemonade.

Yes, you can drink all of those.
For a few days after you get your braces on, your teeth will be very sore...so you should stick to soft food. Like soup, applesauce, soft noodles, smoothies, basically food that you can swallow without biting down hard. But after that you can eat almost anything (except really sticky things like candy). Good luck!

Well. I have braces, and I didn't have any trouble w/ drinking any sorts of liquids...

However, if you're getting braces on tom, then you won't be able to chew. forget bout solid food, pretty much.

Once ur used to the "pain" w/e u want to call it, you'll be able to chew properly w/o pain (depends. i had this thing behind my top teeth to straighten out my overbite, so it prolly took longer to get used to?) in a couple of days?

Don't chew gum, candy when u have braces. at least dont chew it too much, your braces get loosened. Ugh. everytime you get it tigtened, you can't chew on much for about a day, two days? eating icecream is good for that. numbs the pain.

if you have a question about certain foods/drinks though, you should ask ur orthodontist, bc i dont know much. :\ sry if i wasnt much help. ah well. w/e

I am sure you can, but that'd probably stain them..
So I wouldn't chance it!
But try drinking with a straw :) so it wont touch your teeth.

I had braces, about 10 years ago, I don't remember having eating restrictions. I ate normal food and drank whatever I wanted. Yeah, as was mentioned, when you first get them on, your mouth will be pretty sore for a few days. That stinks. I got mine on the day before the prom. Yuck. But I'm pretty sure you can eat whatever. Just keep in mind you'll have a lot more of your food getting stuck in your teeth... well, in the braces, so I'd keep a mirror close at hand to keep that in check! It can be embarrassing! :) good luck though!

You want to avoid the sugary drinks. You can drink them but use a straw and brush right after. The normal dentist can't do x-rays with braces on and if you get a cavity from the sugary drinks you will have to live with it till the braces come off.
