Foods To Avoid While Wearing Orthodontic Braces...
You can eat just about anything, but there are some exceptions.
At Your City Dental Care, we feel that getting used
to braces also usually means making a few adjustments in your eating habits.
This is because some food might damage your braces or cause problems for your
teeth. Here's a list of items to avoid (or some ways they can still be enjoyed
with caution):
Apples (don't bite into a whole one! Cut it into wedges first.)
Bubble gum (some orthodontists allow sugarless gum, but check with yours
for approval)
Corn on the cob (remove the kernels from the cob, then enjoy!)
Corn chips/crisp tacos
Hard foods (they're tough on braces, causing bending and breaking)
Ice (no crunching!)
Lemon juice/lemons (pure lemon juice is very hard on your tooth enamel)
Nuts
Pizza crust/crusty breads (outer edges)
Popcorn
Pretzels (the large, hard varieties)
Sticky foods (can bend wires and pull off brackets)
Sugary foods (avoid these as much as possible; if you do eat them, brush
your teeth within minutes or as soon as possible, or at least rinse your mouth
with water)
