Answers:
Not only can you use mouth wash, you have to! :P

You have to use a fluoride toothpaste twice a day and a fluoride mouthwash once a day, usually at night before you go to bed, and you have to be able to taste the mint, so you know its working!.

For the first few days, solid foods pretty much impossible, so rice pudding or soup etc's good!. And for the duration of braces, you shouldn't have sticky hard stuff like toffee as that will stick to your braces/pull the brackets off!.

You should also try not to have fizzy drinks very often, as they either have lots of sugar or acid in them!. Same goes for fruit juices!. But you can have them if you drink them through a straw because then it means it doesn't touch your teeth as much!. :)

Any brush is fine, just make sure your brush between the gums and the braces in little circles as well as the rest of the brace, as a lot of people miss that bit!.

They only hurt for a day or 2 after you get them on, and the same for when they get tightened, but that should pass!. If its bad, remember to eat liquid food and take pain killers if necessary!. If its cutting your lips/cheeks, then you might have got some wax from your orthodontist!? If so, put it on the wires that are poking your mouth, and use something like bonjela on the sores!.

Sorry for such a long answer, and good luck with your braces! :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think you can, I would just stay away from gummy stuff, and if you just got braces I would stay away from gummy stuff for awhile!. The reason why I think you can use braces is because it is a liquid, you dont have to chew, just "swig" and spit out!. Good Luck!!!!!!!!!! Hope this helps!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
