Can I eat a midnight snack with braces, but not re-brush my teeth?!


Question: Can I eat a midnight snack with braces, but not re-brush my teeth?
I can't sleep because I am soo, hungry, but I have braces... So I was wondering if I could eat a pop tart or something with out brushing my teeth. Because I have a little pick thingy that goes under the wires to clean it after meals. I don't want to brush my teeth because I don't want anyone to wake up or hear me then get made cause I was goofing off at one in the morning, so can I eat something or not?

Answers:

I had braces for 4 years. And there were times where i'd eat at like mid-night and just went back to sleep (without brushing). Although its a good idea to brush afterwards, its not gonna hurt ya. In fact, i didnt brush 3 times a day. Just at night, and after 4 years of having them on, they took it off, and said my teeth looked perfect. So I wouldnt worry too much about it.

I had braces from 9th grade to senior year



suuuuuureeee if you don't care about having freaking CAVITIES. especially with braces. it's not like pop tarts are full of sugar or anything with all that icing and all that processed crap inside will cause cavities.

if you're really that desperate to eat something without brushing your teeth after is simple crackers then rinsing out ur mouth with water after eating.

pop tarts are a NO.



Haha dude I brush right when I wake up and sometimes when it's late I'll eat a snack without brushing. Just drink something along with it if you can.



yeah you'll be fine... i cheated alot with braces and my teeth are fineeeee
