Eating With Braces

[xziory]

Bro I was planning on eating pens today dammit 😢

[serene]

Guys don’t worry this is cap, my mom makes pen sandwiches for me everyday for school and I’m perfectly fine

[HesterMorrisOrthodontics]

No. But people chew on them a lot, causing breakage.

[Lizzy]

I'm on my first day and I can't bite 💀

I have had my braces in for 2-3 days if you count the day of this comment. But watching this just hurts my front teeth lol

Hey y'all! as someone with braces i promise its fine to eat this stuff as long as you break it up and eat with the back of your teeth (The side the brackets aren't on) honestly eat whatever you want just be careful, orthodontists just say this to limit it

[Waterfirerockair]

Pretzels are fine as someone who has braces they haven't broken once while eating pretzels

I do not recommend eating this kind of food when you have braces Popcorn and corn on the cob. Even before braces you’ve probably experienced a kernel stuck in your tooth. It’s uncomfortable at best and sometimes downright painful. Aside from possibly damaging your teeth and your braces, left untreated, a stuck kernel can lead to swelling, discomfort and even infection.

Ice. It may seem innocuous, but chewing ice is very bad for your teeth–braces or otherwise. Without braces, you can damage enamel and crack a tooth. With them, you risk serious damage to your braces.

Nuts. Like sticky foods, nuts have a tendency to find their way into all the nooks and crannies of your teeth and braces, leading to decay and gum irritation.

Apples, carrots, pears and other crunchy fruits. These fruits are probably the healthiest on the list, but they can easily get caught in your braces and damage them. It’s still okay to enjoy them, but be sure to cut them into small pieces, or cook until they’re soft.

Crusty bread and pizza crust. When these foods are crunchy, they can break braces. When they’re doughy, they require extra chewing, which can loosen and bend the wires. Unfortunately, both options are risky for orthodontic patients.

Sugary desserts (cake, ice cream, cookies, candy). Sugary foods are not good for your teeth. With braces, they’re even worse, contributing to increased plaque and tartar and the destruction of enamel.

Hard taco shells.This is one of the less obvious culprits, but hard taco shells are known to break brackets and wires. Same goes for crunchy potato and corn chips.

Sports drinks. Though it’s often thought of as “healthier” than soda, unless you’re a competitive athlete, sports drinks aren’t all that healthful. In fact, they’re typically loaded with sugar! Not only that, but like soda and energy drinks, sports drinks can damage the enamel on your teeth.

Caramels, toffee and other chewy treats and candies. Tasty as they may be, these sticky sweets are notorious for damaging orthodontics.

Gum. Gum can cause several problems for your braces. It can get stuck between the wires, and in some cases even bend them, requiring repair.

This is annoying for me because soon I’m getting braces and it’s like I can barely eat anything

[LapisTheArtist]

If you don't know what she meant about pens she meant don't chew or bite on them✨

[funnybunnyanything]

Make sure the cookie is soft and for the donut be careful with the sprinkles 😊

[AltherriaLacewell-omie]
