Braces & Eating Food?!
Question: Braces & Eating Food!?
Okay i have had my braces on since August 25th!. I go back October 1st for a tightening!. I have a couple of questions!. I was at the food court and ordered a salad and a slice of pizza!. The pizza was a little bit hard to chew and i had a lot of trouble eating the salad!. And mostly it was just spinach leaves!. So why was it hard for me to eat that!? And a lady at Topsy's said she had a friend who had braces and ate caramel candy apples all the time she just ate a lot of ice before hand!. But i was told that i am not allowed to have any!. So how could she eat that with braces on!? Thanks :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
The first couple of weeks is really hard to eat with braces!. Eating pizza will get easier as time progresses and you get more comfortable with the feeling of braces on your teeth!. DO NOT and I repeat DO NOT eat caramel apples with your braces on, if your having a hard time eating pizza it will be worse with a candied caramel apple!. The orthodontist will yell at you about that and not to mention it will get all caught in the brackets and in between your teeth!. At least wait until you get more comfortable with your braces on!. She probably could eat it with braces on,,,b/c she cleans her teeth really good after maybe!?

well i have braces too!. i have my braces for almost 2 years already!. well when i first got them and have had them for the about the first 2 months or more, its kind of hard to eat because my teeth were probably moving and it kinda hurt to eat too!. now i can bite and chew on caramel and stuff like that!. well, your teeth will feel better to eat soon!. :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

You can eat whatever you want with your braces!.!.!.!.!.BUT be prepared to pay the consequences, meaning that you will have to wear your braces longer than if you hadn't eaten the "bad" foods!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Don't believe everything people tell you - especially when it's third hand info!. Your orthodontist is the one who knows best what your particular correction is like, what you can tolerate and what you can't!. All people who wear braces are not the same!.
When one of my kids had braces, I used to steam a lot of veggies - raw carrots were hard to eat but steamed carrots were great!. Still firm, but steaming softened them enough that they could be eaten easily!. Now that I think of it, he ate an awful lot of carrots while the braces were on!.!.!.!.!.
PS: Despite what the lady at Topsy's says, no one eats caramel candy apples all the time ;-)Www@Answer-Health@Com
