You cant eat things like gum, toffee, caramel or other things like that. They will get stuck to your braces and may cause a problem. Although there is one chewy sweet I eat (I got braces a month ago) It may be hard at first to not eat that stuff but you get used to it :)



starbursts, gum, and crunchy stuff are no nos. Popcorn is a no no too, but it really is if your not careful



Don't chew gum!
