Is there anything I can't eat when I have Braces?
You can eat most of the good things that you eat now. However, hard, sticky, gooey or crunchy foods should be avoided because they may stick to the brackets and pull them off your teeth. In addition, the sugar can get around and in behind the braces and cause cavities. Foods which should be avoided include;
- Toffee
- Caramels
- Caramelised Apples
- Boiled Lollies
- Popcorn
- Peanuts
- Corn on the cob (cut the corn off the cob before eating)
- Plain soft chocolates are fine as long as you brush afterwards.
