What foods can't I eat when I have braces?


I got my braces 4 days ago, and my teeth are very sore, and I have things that stop overbite (but my top and bottom molars do not touch) and so far, I have not eaten (or been able to eat) anything but instant breakfast, yogurt, and pudding, I miss cheeseburgers, pizza, ice cream, nochos, pasta and quesadillas, and also candy (I know candy is forbidden). Will I ever be able to eat the foods I love again (while my braces are on)?

I have the taste of metal in my mouth..and no matter what I do?



Answers:
You could pretty much eat whatever you want still. I mean, they suggest that you don't eat sweets or things with a lot of sugar because they're afraid that you don't brush probably and that the sugar embedded in your braces would cause cavity, and thus, make your orthodontic experience much more difficult. However, if you brush your teeth often and well after eating sweets, feel free to eat as much as you want!

Also, it's suggested that you don't eat really hard food like biting into a whole apple or eating ribs and stuff. They're afraid that biting into really hard objects would break the brackets from the glue, causing them to "snap off" your teeth, and defeating the purpose of having braces. So if you're eating those stuff, eat the stuff pre cut.

Other than that, eat whatever!

I burned my tongue.?


Candy is not forbidden with braces. YOu just aren't supposed to have things like carmels etc. You can eat anything you want with your braces so long as you are careful. You got your braces 4 days ago so you should be eating normal food already. If your mouth is still sore take some ibuprofen or naproxen for the pain.
