Question: Drink soda with braces !? !?
i have braces & is it ok to drink soda that has no caffeine in it !?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Some dentists recommend you not to drink soda at all because it may eat away at your gum and braces!.
Personally, I have been drinking soda (w/ caffeine) with braces!. My orthodontist simply told me not to chew gum, eat anything sticky, or eat anything hard (like Doritos)!. I've had braces for 3 years and have been fine!.

It's best to ask your orthodontist - they may prefer you to not drink soda!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Teeth with braces are more likely to get cavities, because they are harder to clean!. Soda has a lot of sugar, and most orthos say cut down on the sugar!. Just make sure you brush after anything sweet you eat!. The caffeine isn't the problem!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Don't overdo it!. Moderation is key!. Rinse your mouth out with water or brush your teeth after drinking soda or anything else really sugary and you'll be fine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

it's okay

just don't overdo it

ever since i've gotten braces i've been drinking maybe one can per week at the most but lots of water and other fluidsWww@Answer-Health@Com

I'm pretty sure you can!. I've had braces too and all my dentist told me was not to eat gum or jelly !.Www@Answer-Health@Com
