Eating with braces..?

Question

I'm getting braces very soon...I also want to lose weight! Do you lose a lot of weight when wearing braces, since you can't eat many foods?

Answer 1

You don't lose weight because of braces. It doesn't matter if you can't eat certain foods. You can't eat many foods?  You can eat almost anything. I mean I don't recommend eating everything, but I do (almost) and I haven't even broken anything in my mouth (and I've had mine for a year and a half.

No, since everyone ignores everything they say.

Tip: Ignore everything, EXCEPT the soda. You can still drink it, but don't overdo it. They really will loosen your brackets.

Answer 8

Uhm, no, I weighed 85 when I got them on and I just got them off and I weigh 120.

Answer 9

hahaha! with braces you can eat just about everything a normal person can.

to be honest when you first get them on the pressure your teeth has on them is quite alot so in the first few weeks i'd lay off the tough foods!

however once you're used to them eating is totally normal so i really doubt that you'll lose weight!

p.s....problem is that you should better stay away from apples and corn on the cobs cause they do get stuck!

Answer 11

Braces are not a dietary aid

Answer 12

When you first get your braces, your mouth and teeth will be very sore.  When I had mine, I drank a lot of milkshakes and ate soup, grilled cheese, french fries -- anything soft.  I would tear my sandwiches up into very small pieces.  Eventually, the soreness wears off and you can eat just about anything you want except for foods you have to bite into like tacos or apples.  After you get them tightened, which could be every month, your teeth will be sore again. When that would happen, I would just go right back to eating the soft stuff.

I lost weight when I had braces.  Not everyone does, but you might.  Just be sure to drink plenty of water so you don't get dehydrated.  When you first get them, and each month when they are tightened, your mouth will be so sore you won't want to eat or drink anything -- but be sure to drink water.  Plus, drinking plenty of water will help you loose weight.
