Answer 1

 Hey, I got my braces Yesterday and my Ortho gave me a list of things to eat and not to eat, I can list a few here.

No No's:

1.Ice

2. Pizza Crusts - Bend wires.

3. Doritos, Tacos, Tostitos, Cheetos, Fritos and the Likes (I think you can eat them, just brush after).

4. Caramel Candy and Bubble Gum - Sugar free gum is fine.

5. Beef Jerky

6. Nuts (people don't be sick minded!!)

7. Ribs

8. Pens and Pencils.

9. Popcorn

10. Raw Carrots - Sliced or Cooked is fine.
