I can't say for sure, because I didn't have an expander, but I ate a lot of soft foods when I first got braces!. Ice cream is great for that sort of thing!. It's easy to swallow, and the cold feels good against the pressure!.
Any kind of applesauce, pudding, etc, is good too!. Avoid apples, sandwiches, and anything which requires biting and pulling!. (at least with braces!?!?)
Plus, this is kinda weird, but I made those instant Ramen noodles, and cut the noodles then scooped with a spoon, so I didn't have to chew anything!. :)
Goodluck with the expander!Www@Answer-Health@Com
