I got braces and some teeth extracted on July 9 of this year 4 teeth extracted prmolars top and bottom. When I drink juice like apple, cranberry etc. do I drink it through a straw or directly? I dont drink soda cause Id ont like it anyway. But can the juice mess it up my braces over time by making them loose?

Answer 1

No.

No drink should mess up your braces.

I had braces and they said nothing about it.

Drink it directly.

If you're still concerned, ask your ortho

UNcomfortable for you then you CAN

just drink it though a straw regularly. (=

Answer 3

it honestly shouldn't make a difference.

Answer 4

juice won't make your braces lose. your teeth might be sore tho for a while so i suggest drinking thro a straw and trying not to let it touch your teeth. :)

Answer 5

No, I actually don't do anything different..

Answer 6

Through a straw. The acids in juice can stain and s***w up your teeth, drink it through a straw so it hits your toungue and goes down your throat.

Answer 7

no, once the first day of pain goes away, you can really do anything, even eat popcorn and chew gum.  I had braces, and the first day is the worst, but then you get you used to it. no the juice can't do anything to the braces.

Answer 8

I don't think juice or soda will mess up your braces I've had braces for quite a while now and have never had any problems with it loosening your braces. I don't see how straws will mess up your braces either. To be honest with you I have eaten everything they've told me not to eat with my braces on and have never had a problem so you should be fine.

Answer 9

You can definatly drink directly!  Though soda is bad for your teeth, you can drink it.  The main thing with braces is brushing.  Very well.  Often.  Which I regret to say I don't do, very often.

Answer 10

you can drink it either way, unless your dentist said for a whole month don't drink from a straw. no it will not mess up your braces overtime. it you dont take care of your teeth and braces and eat foods that will damage them then yeah your mouth will be looking a hot mess.over the course of wearing your braces, take motrin or whatever pain killer you take before the appointments, brush at least 2 to 3 times a day and you should be fine
