Eating the Right Foods
Dr. Cruz puts on your braces using a special glue that is strong enough to keep the braces adhered to your teeth, but your braces are not indestructible.
You need to carefully choose the right foods to eat when wearing braces and other appliances.
If your teeth are feeling tender or sore, look for soft foods - that are easy to chew.
Stay away from hard, chewy or crunchy foods which can damage your braces or appliances. Also, try not to eat sweets that can cause cavities.
The following is a list of some of the foods that need to be avoided during your active treatment time:
Ice
Gum
Taffy and caramels
Hard chips
Candy bars, Jolly Ranchers and other hard candies
Popcorn & nuts
Carrots, pears, apples, etc. need to be cut into small pieces
Meat should be cut -- it should not be chewed off the bone
Corn on the cob should be sliced off
Pizza, bagels, crust and any other hard or crunchy breads need to be broken into bite-size pieces
Pencils, pens and fingernails do not belong in the mouth
