Don't worry, I thought the exact same thing!.!.!. absolutely convinced myself I would never eat again!. In a few days everything will be back to normal!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
If you're not in pain, just eat like you normally would!. It'll feel weird because it seems like food is collecting up round the brackets etc!. You might find having a glass of water with your meal and rinsing your mouth every few bites will help with that clogged up feeling!. Don't eat things like toffees or raw carrots/apples as these can break your braces!. But if you're not in pain there's no need to baby your teeth!. Chewing will help them start moving quicker as it inproves blood supply to the gums!. In a short while you'll be chewing away as before and won't even notice the braces!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Ahh don't worry, after a few days it begins to feel normal and you'll be able to eat whatever you like!. Just eat soft foods, like mashed banana and yoghurts!. Try drinking ICE cold water to loosen up the wires (this wont affect your teeth by the way) so it feels a bit less weird!. Good luck! and its sooo worth it in the end!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Don't worry that's normal it could take up to two weeks to get used to them
Until then eat light (i!.e!. ice cream, jello, pudding, soup, macaroni and cheese, etc!.) but soon you'll be able to eat just as you did before you had themWww@Answer-Health@Com
