What kind of food should I eat when I get my braces?

Question

I'm getting my braces on very soon, and I have the spacers on right now. I don't know what kinds of food I should eat when I get my braces put on. I'm also going to school soon, so what kinds of food do you recommend me eating that are easy to eat at school (i.e. I can't eat soup during school because there are no microwaves). I also think that I may be sensitive because I can hardly eat a piece of bread with my spacers on.

Tell me what you think and thanks!

Answer 1

For the first couple day & whenever you get your wire changed you should eat things like mashed potatoes, pudding, jello, string cheese, cereal. When I had braces I would suck on cheerios. After a week you will be able to eat whatever. Sandwhiches, chips, fruit, whatever!

Your teeth will be a bit sensitive from anywhere from 24-72 hours usually. You can take a tylenol to relieve the pain.  

Answer 2

why ask questions like these when you're obviously going to be going to an orthodontist soon. ASK THEM.

Answer 3

When i first got mine i ate as much as i could because it didn't hurt at first. but later u r probably gonna eat mashed potatoes or jello
