Avoid certain foods with orthodontic braces
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| = | 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) |
| = | Candy (caramels, taffy, nut brittles, fruit-flavored chewy candies, gummi anything!) |
| = | Carrots (avoid sticks, cut into thin curls) |
| = | 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) |
