What can't u eat with braces on?

Question

What are some of the things u cant eat w/ braces on?

I'm getting mine in 2 days so I want to eat the thing i won't b able to while i have the chance xD

(i.e popcorn? pizza? jellies?,etc.)

Answer 1

Sticky, chewy things like gum, and popcorn. Though I have braces and I eat them sometimes...they don't break, but it's recommended not to eat them just in case.

But for the first week or two your mouth really hurts so it's hard to eat anything.

Answer 2

Hard foods-they can brake your brakets.

Sticky foods-they pull out brakets.

Sugary foods-they will give you cavities under your braces.

(eat these while you have the chance)

If you eat popcorn, take out the kernals.

Also avoid:

corn on the cob

apple slices

carrot sticks

pretzles

gummies

bubble gum

licorice

jellies

pizza crusts

nuts

french bread

ICE CUBES

chicken bones

And anything that is covered in sugar.

(Pretty much all the good stuff)

P.S. The Drama Queen girl that answered you first, stole her answers off of Dr.Cusack's Orthopage. That is plagarism, and it is illegal.

Answer 3

Caramel

MAYBE not pizza, I'm not too sure

Donuts

Cheese?

Liquorice

Probably burgers, not too sure either

But lol, don't eat all of it at once. XD

Answer 4

AVOID EATING THESE THINGS:

Hard foods-

Remember, braces are fragile, and strong forces from hard foods will break them. Damaged appliances will extend treatment time. Extended treatment time will increase the risk of cavities and stains on your teeth.

Sticky foods-

Braces can be pulled apart with sticky foods. Again, this could extend your treatment time.

Anything high in sugar-

Braces make it harder to keep your teeth clean. Sugar will feed the bacteria that cause cavities. If you do eat any foods high in sugar, brush your teeth immediately.

EXAMPLES OF WHAT TO AVOID

Ice....Definitely NO!! It totally destroys braces.

Nuts

Peanut brittle

Hard pizza crust

Corn on the cob

Ribs

Doritos, corn chips, hard tacos, cheetos, fritos and the like

Popcorn

Hard pretzels

Hard rolls and bagels

Raw carrots

Bubble gum

Carmel candy

Beef jerky

Suckers

Remeber, cheating every once in a while won't hurt, just not everyday.
