Help on Braces..?!
Question:
Help on Braces..?
I'm looking at getting braces around September but I would like to know ahead of time what I can and cannot eat. That way I can enjoy it now and miss it later.
Answers:
I have braces right now, and was told not to eat popcorn, pizza, bubble gum (chewing gum is fine), hard candy, licorice or anything gummy.
I say, eat whatever you want, but don't try the hard candy, or gummy things. Bubble gum is fine, but I'd stick with chewing gum.
Also, the first day you get braces, and every time you get them tightened, you're probably gonna wanna hold off on the solid foods. I guess it could be a pain level thing, but when I first got my braces, I couldn't even eat tomato soup!
Eh, but just don't eat any taffy or hard candy, and you should be good.
Oh yes, you can eat bread. Just brush your teeth afterwards. :) Hope that helps.
