Well Im getting my top ones on wendsday. And the first Time I started off with my bottoms. & I had school the next day. I have this hot lunch thing& I had to eat a hotdog. It REALLY hurt but I was really hungry so I ate it anyways. Soo bascilly what im trying to say is you can eat but only soft things.

Answer 3

Honestly, you are probably not going to want to eat at all. I recommend something very soft or a soup you dont have to microwave. Its quite painful those first couple days and even weeks. But then you will get used to it. Everytime you tighten your braces its going to hurt for a day, and your either going to have to chew with the back of your teeth where the teeth are stronger or your just going to give up eating.  Look on the bright side, the year and a half I had braces, I lost almost twenty pounds and went down from a size 14 to a size 8. Much of this was because I refused to eat anything to hard and I ended up having a soup or a sandwich. Also I hated eating in front of my friends because Ive seen how people with braces eat and it is absolutely disgusting. They always have food in the braces and teeth and for whatever reason, they eat like pigs. Dont ask me why but braces do that to ya. I'm not trying to scare you, but if your going to eat in front of others, remember to keep your mouth closed, you dont want them to talk behind your back. And keep a mirror with you and run off to the bathroom to check theres no food in your teeth. Hope I helped. Dont be scarred.

Answer 4

Your teeth will probably be sore on Thursday (not really bad, but possibly a dull ache.) It might be hard to chew, so bring a soft sandwich like PB&J. Also, maybe a fruit like cantaloupe or watermelon. You may want to bring a light pain medication with you like tylenol or aspirin. I'm not sure how old you are or what your school allows, but if you can't carry meds in your possession, make sure one of your parent's check them in at the nurses office before school.  

Answer 5

You can eat anything, except for chips or gum. Oh yeah, and my friend had braces and he was able to drink soda. Quote from my friend:

"Well, you can drink soda, just don't chug a six pack every night."

Hope I helped!

Answer 6

RUN. RUN FAR AWAY.  Getting braces is h**l.  I had them for three years, and a herbst for 2.  Then I got retainers- trust me when I tell you this- for the next 1-2 weeks, the only way you can eat is out of a straw because it hurts just that bad.  After I got my braces on I couldn't even eat a soft sandwich.  It hurt to drink.  Just not as bad as biting into solids.

Answer 7

eat yogurt/pudding or anything soft. depends on how much pain you feel you are in. when i had braces i ate that and fruit cups.  

Answer 8

well, when i got braces, i ate lots of jello & pudding & yogurt. um...lets c, fruit snacks are ok, depending on how chewy they are. soup, you could keep it in a thermos. but other than that, theres not much. the day after i got braces, i was stuck eating salad, a roll, and like fruit that the school had, and trust me DO NOT EAT SALAD! haha, its pretty painful. but, ya, try those things, thats what i reccomend. but dont worry, it only really hurts a few hours after you get them, the next few days its just sore. hope that helps! good luck with ur braces! :D

....dont listen to yankees12054, it does NOT hurt for that long. dont let that scare u!
