Got Braces,What Should I Eat!

lol Yes you can eat hard food in a few days so panic over haha!. I would eat:
yogurts
smoothies
mashed potatoes
and all soft stuff!.

That is the easy bit!. The hard bit is the stuff your not supposed to eat:

Hard candy
Caramel
Taffy
Hard bread crusts
Pizza crust
Hard nuts
Tacos
Tortilla chips
Corn Nuts
Popcorn
Jerky
Corn on the cob
Dried fruit
Cut these into bite-sized pieces:

Bagels
Apples
Raw carrots
Raw celery
Avoid chewing:

Gum
Ice
Bones
Be aware of the hidden sugar in:

Jelly
Syrup
Honey
Sugared cereals
Breakfast rolls
Catsup
Desserts
Sodas
Brush your teeth immediately after eating sweets!. If you are unable to brush, rinse your mouth with water!.

Yes, but you will have to wait a while!.!.!.

Here's a list of my favorites for those painful first days (or the days after an adjustment)!.

- Popsicle
- pudding
- mashed banana
- mashed potatoes
- tomato soup
- smoothie
-Meatloaf or meatballs
-Tuna, chicken, or egg salad
-Lunch meat (plain, not in a sandwich -- sandwiches can be too hard to bite)
-Soup
-Cheese slices
-Cooked eggs
-French toast, pancakes, waffles
-Soft cooked meat (pot roast, roasted chicken, etc)
-Baked or broiled fish
-Non-crusty bread without seeds or chunks
-Saltine crackers (they crumble on the roof of your mouth!)
-Cottage cheese
-Yogurt
-Cereal that gets soggy in milk
-Oatmeal or hot cereals
-Ice cream and cake (hey, what the hell, treat yourself! But remember, no nuts!)
-Frozen cheese blintzes or potato pancakesWww@Answer-Health@Com
