    yes

    same with the cheetohs

    and pringles

    bagel bits are soo hard at the bottom!! ide suggest waiting a lot longer and asking ur ortho, those messed up my teeth without braces lol

    if the pizza isnt real hard crusted

    my tips are

    -use the teeth wax when u sleep

    -dont drink out cans or those awesome metal moutain dew bottles, they hit ur teeth AND IT HURT SLIKE c**p

    -i havent had my teeth together all day, like i either have my mouth open, or my lips closed but my teeth not touching each other, hurts to much

    -dont forget if u like play da ttrumpet or sax or clarinet to wear the protector thingys

    thats all i got

    Congrads on braces! It's kinda exciting when you first get them on! I have had braces for two years now. I eat all of those things. There fine to eat. You also can chew sugar free gum!!!

    SOME TIPS FOR THE SPECIAL PEOPLE WITH BRACES!

    how to brush your teeth;

    Rinse and spit at least 3 or 4 times, or until most food particles are out of my mouth

    Use a dental pick to dislodge food from under the hooks and between brackets

    Rinse and spit 1 or 2 more times

    Dislodge any stubborn food that is wrapped around the hooks or under the brackets

    Rinse and spit again

    Brush my teeth

    Rinse and spit again

    Examine my teeth to ensure that I got all the food off my braces.

    If it's the end of  the day, I floss my teeth

    cool tips;

    Don't be too freaked out by the thought of braces. They honestly aren't as bad as people think. Just remember, even though it may not seem like it, a lot of people have them, too, including adults. Be confident and no one will notice the braces, just your smile.

    Do the teeth cleaning regimen at night, when you have more time. If you try to do it in the morning, you'll never finish it or be late for school.

    Try to avoid foods like whole apples, Tootsie Rolls, and Bazooka gum. Try to cut up your apples and maybe chew sugarless gum.

    Remember to put on some lip balm before you get your braces on. Afterwards, your lips will be dry and cracked from keeping your mouth open for an hour (approximate). You should probably apply it before getting them tightened too, as that could take even longer, in some cases.

    Your lips will probably be dry after you get them on even with lip balm, so keep applying lip balm consistently, throughout your braces period of your life. Keep some on hand, either in your purse, pocket, backpack, locker, or even carry it around.

    Try to draw attention from your braces a little bit try drawing attention to your better features, like your eyes or your hair. Don't put any lipstick on your lips only lip gloss that makes your lips look well taken care of but not out there.

    warnings;

    Be sure to stick to the diet your orthodontist recommends at first. Eventually, you will be able to break the rules every once in a while.

    If you do not clean your teeth well enough, you may have squares on your teeth where your braces were so brush well!

    Make sure you take the lip balm out of your pocket etc., before putting it in the clothes dryer.

    If you eat really chewy foods & candies, they may get stuck underneath your braces, causing brown squares to be where the braces once were.

    never ever:

    chew on your remoat with your braces,

    eat an carmal apple

    or try to eat a hard swishy sucker.

    try not to worry about a thing.

    braces have helped me so much!


  5. Hi,

    I just got my braces...umm...four months ago. :( Anyways, my ortho said no corn chips, but i tried and nothing bad has happened...lol...you can eat everything on that list, I'm pretty sure, but i'm not sure about Bagel Bites or whatever they're caled. I've never had them. Anyways, make sure to brush and floss a lot and take ibuprofen if there is extreme pain, wich might be gone by now but will probably come back after adjustments (joy, lol). jk. anyways, the last thing I have to say is they're actually not all that bad once you get used 2 them (probably  hard to see now ;)) and 2 just get whatever colors you want (if your ortho offers them), as long as u have 'em you might as well have fun!!, and always wear ur headgear and rubber bands and stuff as reccomended...well i know this is a lot lol but i hope it helped!!! :)
