What are some things you cant eat when you have braces?
Question:
Answers:
Hi! I've been in dentistry for over 25 years I tell all my patients, here is MY list. No pizza, bagels, or anything chewy or sticky. Apples or corn on the cob a real no-no. Anything that can break off the brackets or pull the wires is a no. Think about this. The sooner you move the teeth, get them in position, you are out. Each time you mess up the brackets or bend the wire or lossen it, you lose time.
Stick to small bites, chew carefully and don't take a big mouthful of anything. Eat foods that are good for you and do not bite directly into anything that is hard, or has any hard give to it. The front brackets will take the hit. I tell my patients, eat all the stuff you like, pasta, hamburgers, chicken, steak in small pieces, but think before you bite. It is only a short time once the teeth begin to move, so you want to get on a roll. I have had patients not think and chew into a candied apple and knock off 2-3 brackets and bend the wire. If you want the apple, cut it up in small pieces and eat with the flat of your molars. You can even do this with pizza. JUST cut everything up. If you do this, you will be fine, I promise. If you have any other questions, please ask. Marie.
Sticky things like toffees and jellies and lots more
Apples, gum, caramel, and anything else that's hard and/or sticky.
Ok i had braces twice and I ate everything but taffy and nothing happened to my braces.
they will give you a list probably when you get them on. usually its sticky stuff and like pop corn because of the kernels. The truth is, you can really eat all those things without a problem. but eat as much corn on the cob and sandwiches as you can now, before you get them. Its practically impossible to eat the corn and as for sandwiches, it can be done but you get allot of stuff stuck in your teeth and braces when you eat them.
I have braces, I had them for 3 almost 4 yrs.
