I'm getting braces??? Need Help!?

Question

I'm getting braces in a few weeks and I am a serious candyholic, lol. What are certain candies and foods that you can't eat. I know the orthodontists will give me a list of things I can and can't eat but I want to know now so I can eat them before I get my braces! :)

Answer 1

lol. You can't eat anything chewy, like gummy bears or gummy worms. Starburst, taffy, and anything with peanuts. Eh it sucks but you'll get used to it.

Answer 2

no carmel, nuts, popcorn stuff like that no gummies. I've had braces for a year and now i can sorta eat snickers so yea. i just eat popcorn sloooow

Answer 3

Hiya!!

Say goodbye to everything - Just kidding!

Actually, just steer clear of Carmel, any kinds of sticky candy(Snickers, Twix, etc.), nuts, && Popcorn (If you do eat popcorn take if VERY slow..........you don't want to break one of your bracket's OR get something stuck in your teeth...It makes it hurt alot worse!)

I thought I was having to give up chewing gum - but they have so many different gum choices that wasn't the case.

You will be able to still have some candy - just nothing sticky & hard...

You'll do fine & you will get use to it...:)

Good Luck, I Love'd having braces!

Answer 4

   The list doesn't matter you can have pretty much anything stay away from taffy and do not chew tooo much gum at one time stay away from from bubble gum I chew orbit and stuff and and thats ok but I have found that bubble gum Is alot worse!  BREAD IS HORRIBLE get stuck in your braces horibbly !  And do not use too much wax then your gum will not grow so that after a while it will not work.     Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is not as bad as people say really it is not  I have to keep mine for the next 2 years!

Answer 5

Its best to avoid anything really sticky such as gum and toffee!
